Let us know how they fit. I know the passenger side link that is near the exhaust can hit the exhaust pipe if you hit a bump and the exhaust moves. This happens with my Tom's 6-link with both the OEM exhaust and RMM. Yet another "clunk" to deal with.

If you running Blitz Nur Spec, don't even think about putting on the last 2 link braces...its rubs the inlet pipe to the exhaust. Im running TOMS 4 of 6 end links.

Have you had any issues running it like this? I ended up (for now) just putting a rubber hose on the link. It is a soft thud now vs. a metal clunk.

No issues w running only 4 links. The last 2 links on mines do not replace oem braces.

No rubbing issues on the Greddy exhaust and 6 links that I heard of...so you should be good to go.

Rear STB?

Which lower chassis brace you got? Front or Rear? Get both...thats what I have.
