Ultra Racing front and rear strut tower bars and lower chassis braces.
Looking forward to installing these. These suspension pieces made a big difference on my 2nd Gen GS. Nothing like taking toll road on-ramps at 70mph. Sled status!!

Been eyeing a couple of those bits too, for a while now.
Be interested in hearing how you feel they've change the car.
Did you opt for their ARBs as well or stick with the F-Sport ones?
AFAIK, they don't offer a front or rear one, but do have it for the IS, but not tried it on a GS.
I'd be curious to know how much stiffer over stock (and F-Sport?) theirs are.

If installed properly, the strut tower bars and braces should not add any vibrations. I had similar parts installed on my 2nd Gen and they made a significant difference in the handling of the car.
I'm having all of these parts installed on Friday.

Crossing my fingers that the 2nd Gen diff is compatible with the 3rd Gen....don't want to lose my lower gears and LSD. I will know on Friday for sure.

Strut tower bars and front lower chassis braces are on.
Unfortunately the 2nd Gen diff was not compatible. I noticed that UR has a 6 point rear lower chassis brace for the 3rd Gen GS. That's next on the list.
