Congrats on the purchase, not sure if you can get pics while it is installed. I'm sure you will post a write up...looking forward to it.

final pieces ?? yeah right , are you kidding us or yourself


you know the rest of the pieces fornt and back are req , esp the rear lower control brace in fact steve ganz forced me to get the rear lower control brace for it is designed to work with the six piece kit and take some of the stresses off of them or he said they could break.. looking at how they are mounted i would tend to believe him

Spiders have 8 legs.

alohags and lexforlife - it is in fact the final piece for me as far as I'm concerned. I've got the Toms rear upper strut bar and lower chassis brace. I have the front RMM strut brace and TRD lower chassis brace. I have coilovers. What else?

ohh my bad , i did not know you had the toms rear brace already... good move .. the toms front brace makes a very distinct diff up front with the extra link to eliminate any extra movement with the lower control arm and you castor arms

i used to have the trd piece and when i switched to the toms the front end felt very bmw like ..

HAHA. LOL!

It's never the last, as long as you have us to help you out.

Please let us know how they fit with the L-Tuned exhaust. Some exhaust fit well and some touch the bolt on one of the links on the passenger side.
