since the original post - I had a chance to look at the bar in person (during the G37 viewing)... It actually does have some limited vertical clearance/adjustability. I asked a Stillen rep about the misleading pics and he explained that the photo in the ad was pre-production... As is - it looks like minimal amount of adjustability - also, the bar is actually angled - not from the brackets but the bar itself twists slightly.

I'm no engineer so I don’t know if the design that obviously helps with the slope of the plenum detours from structural rigidity- but it is adjustable > and slightly different (from others I've seen).

The weld on the piece I saw were okay, no stellar… I was impressed by the original Richy Strut Bar welds – but ironically the current version pics don’t seem as good either (I don’t know if he’s using a different source?)… I’m not a welder though so maybe I shouldn’t comment… BUT I am an enthusiast and I am seeing the “get what you pay for cliché in a big way when it come to these strut bars.
