Have Whiteline sway bars on mine...big difference...spoke to another GT4 owner who has one of them Cusco under body braces as I was interested in one...He said forget it, as it made no difference to the GT4 and all it did was come loose all the time (potentially very dangerous) and catch on speed bumps......so I didnt bother.....If your going to make a track car then it might be worth it, but otherwise I`d spend yer money elsewhere. (the top strut braces are a more worthy purchase IMO)

I have never had that problem. Perhaps I did the bolts up properly? wink.gif Also, I have never had an issue with speed bumps - perhaps that its because I have my car at a sensible ride height tongue.gif

Bit unfair to bag a piece of kit just because 1 person has experienced technical issues which, lets face it, aren't caused by the brace itself....

Well actually it wasnt just one person......the ride hieght is sensible...only dropped 25mm, but thats not important.......hey if anyone wants to go out and spend large amounts of money on something that will have very little benifit then who am I to stop em.....
Oh and I know how to do bolts up properly thanks......talk to Toyautocentre Ian about doing up one of these on someone elses car with a windy gun....I`d say that would get it tight enough....it still comes loose.
