How good is the GT-Spac?

[ca_deal1]

I went to their website, they have many parts for MSP.
I would like to know if anyone have them on their car, and how do you like it?

In my previous car, P5, i had the GTSPEC rear strut bar. Decent build quality, easy install, fast shipping and packaged securely. I am planning on buying a front tie bar, rear strut bar or ladder bar for my MSP.

watch out the first time you change your oil when you have the ladder bar + tie bar.

the oil conveniently spills all over the bar splattering everywhere.

i had both 4 point ladder bad and the tie bar.
solidifies front end even more.
emproves steering response.

I got almost the whole set, except for the rear strut bar. I like it so far. The only problem, that was easily fixed with some washers, was the rear v brace hitting my sway bar (Micaspeed!'s Klunk fix moved the sway bar a bit).

If you're going to get a 3in exhaust later on, then you may need to reconsider the underbody brace bars.

i haven't installed the parts i got, but from what i can tell they are of exceptional quality, GREAT welds, nice thick metal, well constructed and clean brackets, glossy paint, all around nice peices that i'll be proud to put on my car (thumb)...

oh, and i "test fitted" them onto my car quickly, everything lined up straight and went together fine...

i have the ladder bar and low tie bar, (2thumbs) way up

[warrier04]

so no hitting issues with the 4 point ladder bar up front?

is there something special abou the ion exhaust? does it sit up higher or something?

[JHew84]

its not just the iON exhaust, its the 3" diameter that gets it, its just to big and the space alotted to the exhaust with the GT-Spec braces on just doesn't allow that big of a pipe... some people have problems, some dont... or at least thats the last i read on it...

[warrier04]

weird that some work and some don't ..

i have a 2.5" apex dp, yet focus has a 3" exhaust.

maybe i'll just go straight to gtspec for clarification ..

[Ryoga28]

In the worst case, we could always add washers to increase the spacing.

[warrier04]

true true .. did that with the stock cross member b/c of the apex piping. hasn't given me any problems yet.

[Ryoga28]

I had to add washers to the v brace bar because of Dave's klunk.

[jrodhotrod]

I have most of the GT Spec stuff and there are absolutely no fitment issues with my ION exhaust. The tie bar and Ladder bar have plenty of clearance. I guess it depends a lot on your exhaust.

I know the Corksport exhaust rubs, the ION/Kinetic fits fine, haven't heard about others.

The quality is top notch and I love my pieces they were well worth the money.
