more chassis stiffening then anything. Unless your willing to weld or drill your own holes and make your own bar...this is the best your going to do.. truth is...with the height to length and width ratio of the box...anything is beneficial to some extent

Well, if I were more specific, then I wouldn't be making a general statement, now would I?

Specifically, I bought solid end links from them. Less than 30 days after I purchased them, the rubber connecting points blew out, taking my bolts with it.

I attempted to contact them via email many times; received 0 responses- not even an automated "Thanks for the email!"

So, FOR ME PERSONALLY, no GT Spec products.

solid endlinks with rubber connecting points? have any photos of the rubber pieces that "blew out"? sometimes things just "fall out" when not properly installed. if you don't use washers on both sides of rubber bushings and also lock them down...the nuts will simply back out. just curious what your talking about since its another vague reply.

btw..the brace has no bushings so you'll be just fine

I notice there is not a single mention of PRICE?!?!?!? How much was/is it. Their website is equally vague about posting a price (says to call or email for pricing...) It's a good looking part - and is probably somewhat effective - but being in business myself - I find it a little suspicious when a company is secretive with prices and expects you to do some footwork for a $ amount.

Maybe being a little paranoid - but it IS a little suspicious.
