GTSPEC under bracing installed/pics

[blacksandiegovitz]

Hey all ,
Picked these up from Garm this weekend . I'm very surprised at the fitment and the powder coating on these pieces looks amazing ! I haven't hit up any good twistes yet , so I'll have a review on the performance later . I also got the rear sway link brace too that I need to install.
Enjoy

[BLAZINBLUEVITZ]

ive had those same pieces for almost 2 years now with NO problems of rubbing or scraping.i'll save my comments on how they perform until sandiego chimes back in.......

That looks tight! Does the drive feel any different from before? How much did it cost?

Thanks everyone ! I haven't been able to do a "spirited" cayon/mountain run yet , but just driving around town the car feels a lot more "solid". I also feel the road a lot more(added a lot of stiffness) . I took a couple 360 freeway on-ramps today and I noticed about 10mph faster than I usually take the ramps at and the car seemed like it was doing so with ease . I really think the butter in the gt spec line up is the rear sway brace , I'm just wating for the harware to install mine .(Garm forgot the harware , but its all good:thumbsup:) I cant tell you what I paid but I can say that i'm now sponsored by Microimageonline.com and I pretty much stole these from Garm:biggrin:

Hey all ,
I just installed the rear sway brace and to sum it up OMFG !!! I've never owned a car that handles as good a my yaris does right now . Its so smooth on entry speed and it just feels more stable the faster you push it through the apex . If the car handles this good as-is, I can't even imagine it with coilovers / front ustb, fender braces , rear sway bar , smaller light weight rims and brake upgrade . Pics tommorow

[9vapors]

Waiting for pics! Can you PM me the price of all of that? I drive my Yaris 180+ miles per day and go through some twisty roads. I would love to have it hands better...

[ChinoCharles]

Its like a grinding plate. You should take it to a skate park.

[supmet]

hells yea. i keeps it fresh like that.

i've never scraped except for that curb i climbed that scraped them up a little bit, and the deer i hit last june dented the front 4 point brace. will that hinder the strength of the bar?

bolts starting to rust already?

[hatchbackkid82]

man i thought that sway bar would sit higher up in the car, seems like it sits low. looks good though

NAh they were rusted when I bought them , got all three pieces for 100 bucks , so 2 rusted bolt were the least of my worries :thumbup:

The car is jacked up about 1.5 feet on the driver side, so the rear is at full droop in that picture .

can you take a pic of the brace when the car is not jacked up so we can get a real idea of how low it sits

It sit higher than any aftermarket exhuast/muffler , the rear sway brace will not scape on anything .

i didnt get bolts with mine. i picked up bolts that would fit from a hardware store and they didnt rust

[hatchbackkid82]

Ahhhhh i see. here i was thinking the first speed bump i hit will tear right off:laugh:

with all those bars installed, have you noticed any difference in chassis rigidity? what about the weight? any idea what all that weighs?
