Default Received a package from Malaysia today

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.

So this is for the 2nd Gen? Just want to reconfirm since it's posted in the 3rd Gen section!

Parts pictured are for the 3rd Gen GS. In the middle of my initial modifications.

As my signature says, the '98 has been sold.

I've always been eyeing the Ultra racing products. They look great. To bad they only make a tower bar for my car.

Will these braces add vibration?

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.

Yup.....picked up an '08 350. I had the wheels, headers, springs, shocks, sways, upgraded bushings, toe links, MEGA arms, intake, exhaust and camber kit installed already. Next step is the 4.27 diff, UR parts, bodykit and paint. After that I will post pics.

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.
