I am looking for information about and source for the rear GT stiffening kit. Auto Atlanta has a 10 piece kit (5 each side) for $185. Patrick Motorsports has an 8 piece kit (4 each side) for $158. PM looks similar too, but not identical to AA kit.
I know the factory kit is not perfect and don’t want this to turn into a general thread about what is wrong (or not wrong) with the factory kit. My car is going to have a full interior cage but it will not tie to front rear suspension and I would like to get some of the benefits of the stiffening kit, but at the same time have a “factory” look. That is why I am looking for a factory style kit vs. one of the many other newer stiffening solutions (Engman, etc.) Questions… • How many pieces were in the factory kit? • How close is the AA and PM kits to factory? • How thick was the factory kit (AA lists no thickness online. PM lists 16g) • Which commercially available kits match the factory pieces? • Who else (if anyone) other than AA and PM offers a kit? • I am not opposed to sourcing my own metal and cutting my own parts. Does anyone sell paper templates for the factory parts? Thanks, Richard |

There's no magic in these...
Most kits are factory copies so most match up to a "T" Get in touch with Dave here: maddog He'll make it so it's simply not worth your while to source/cut/etc. Check eBay from time to time as well... you'll find sub $100 kits there often. |

Engman may also sell this precut kit.

Thanks for the info everyone. It looks like I am going to be sourcing a kit from Rich Johnson.
