VRT/Rentless.. scott's strut.. supposely he sold the design to GTSPEC but his strut bar is proven to work (personally have it) it also gets rid of the headliner creaking when you go up the ramps lol

Jeez Eric.... get it right. Hahaha.


Yes, I did develope the first working strut tower brace produced for these cars (G35's)

If there was a better made STB on the market, than I would gladely stop producing these. The material is expensive and there is not realy any profit in making these. But after seeing the other designs out there, and not to mention the meterials, it looks like I will keep on making these. I have put alot of time, effert and thought into desighing these STB's to work with most all aplications including... plenums, plenum spacers, TT kits SC's, different CAI's, etc. I HAVE NOT sold my design to GT Spec. I work closely with them and we are involved in many projects together. I am looking into having them manufacture these STB's and severall other things for me. For now, these STB's are still being made by me and are available through Relentless Autosports.

i have a feeling that the best performing bar would be the GTSpec bar by Scott which is right around the price range of the ARC...i think
if you think scott's design is the best performing, then why are you telling him to buy an ARC bar if he has the money? that'd defeat the purpose...

Because ARC is....well, ARC

I told him to get ARC, but I also wanted to let him know that Scott's bar, from what I hear, is the most rigid and best performing to withstand twisting from the front end of the body. Some people might just be the label *****....ya never know.

okay. but if he is a label *****, i'd think he would know to go with ARC - they're a pretty well known company.

not to bag on him, but if he was a label *****...i'd also assume he wouldve gotten the HKS system and not the knock-off.

or the megan racing camber kits, or the tsw's, sounds like he is after bang for the buck, which means richie or vrt, possibly circuit sports

I am probably going with VRT or Scott's strut bar. TSW's were pretty cheap but been a pain in my ***...I will be buying some other rims sometime soon but not sure when.....Megan racing Camber kit i was told to get that and then after i installed was then told that its not the best kit....But i do have the SPC revised front A-Arms going on pretty soon along with Hotchkis Sways, GT spec front and rear tie braces and Rear Lateral bar.

I wasn't trying to bag on you at all, just trying to show you weren't a label ***** like Ahero, and why the ARC bar wouldn't be a good choice for you. Good choice on the VRT bar though
