M7 Under Strut System on GP?

Has anyone installed a M7 USS on the GP?
Pulled one off my 04 and want to use it or sell it....

thanks,

I have one on my R53 ( Currently I am running the same suspension as GP ), but my USS is not made by M7 though.

Provides more precise "step in" on the corners....a "would do again mod" in my book. Didn't you like it on the O4 ?

I do not have the M7 USS but I do have the MM lower stress brace (trapazoid shape). I like the addition of the brace on the GP. I wish I had the additional middle brace similar to what is included with the M7 USS. You might want to look at the USS brace and bolt locations to make sure it will work with the GP underbody panels.

gRay rAvEn,
I like on '04, but there is under body panels unique to GP that may not allow for install...... want to use it just not sure if I can at the moment.

installed the M7 USS on GP

We had to remove the under body kit to install the system.
But it is on there with a new Alta Rear sway bar 22mm and it is as stiff as a **** star....
