GT Spec Trunk products installed

[NegatiZE]

Yay, got these in today. The rear end feels a lot more planted now. It's hard to describe but there is a definite difference in the chassis stiffness. Going over railroad tracks and ruts, the chassis feels more solid.

Looks good. I really do think GTSpec makes quality parts. You have any of the underbody pieces?

[t3ase]

those bins wouldn't last a minute with my "spirited" driving.

Just ordered the rear trailing links. The rest will soon be on it's way as well.

Easy to install?

[NegatiZE]

Yeah, once I realized how some of the bolts lined up with each other. No drilling necessary. Everything mounts to existing holes and screws.

So you have to discard the rear plastic cover and your side trunk carpet?

It can be installed with the side carpet. I just ripped mine out because I was getting frustrated trying to find the mounting locations. The plastic piece requires trimming I believe.

I got all 3 products from EDO Performance for ~$330.

I think it's worth it. Some probably won't agree with me, but I can notice a difference. I actually lubed up all the joints this morning. Cornering hard, I could hear creaking back there. Goes to show they are working.

Nope. I retained all interior for my install. Just think through before you cut the carpet, and the stock plastic piece at the back of the trunk can still be installed, you just need about 5 minutes and a xacto knife to trim it up to fit just perfect. The bars seriously have gotten me sooooo many compliments, because they look like they are factory installed.
