Message	to compare. I went from a 2+0TT to my vert after totaling the former so it was a massive difference. The creaking I speak of was just the dash occasionally "popping" during normal road driving and turning into any sort of inclined driveway. Both had the EXACT same (and few) suspension mods since I pulled them from the TT to install on the vert. There was a post a while back that linked to this: [ http://www.mwsmotorsports.com/z32/x_brace/Bracing.html ] Not a scientific test by any means but just illustrates the amount of flex in the body. All I can say is that as little as I drive my Z, it was very noticeable when the fender brace was installed. Would be nice to reproduce the tape test after having fender braces installed. 1993 TT.
