Question about strut bars??? VRT or Relentless Motorsports

I have been looking but cannot locate...I am curious as to what strut bar can fit my g35 coupe with a MD 1/2 spacer? Is the VRT the only one?? I saw a post about relentless motorsports strut bar and was curious if anyone has a pic of it??? Or if it will fit as well?? Also where am i able to buy a VRT strut bar from?

If anyone could please help me out with this info that would be great!

you can fit the Richie STB version 1 and version 2 for your application. The NRG STB is the same as Richie's STB so they're essentially the same.

Circuit Sports came out with one but I don't think it fits 1/2".
Stillen also just came out with one but I don't think it fits any spacer application.

Also, VRT is Relentless Motorsports. The bar is made by "wa2good". Looks like GTSpec is manufacturing for him right now. I think there is a thread in the "Suspension" marketplace under the "vendors" sections that has a GTSpec STB for sale right now by Intense. Check it out.

You could also buy the TRUE ARC STB that's completely Titanium. Richie's STB is a replica of that bar but it's not made of titanium. Richie's bar is made of aluminum with the mounting brackets made of stainless steel.

go and check it out

Stillen works with the 5/16" spacer but NO engine cover. def. not 1/2" though.

not many fit with the 1/2 spacer....the only ones i can find are VRT so far..I am assuming that the ones listed above to fit are accurate.

Are you sure on this? I remember the other day, not sure who it was, but the guy emailed stillen and they said it wont work with any spacers...? Can you verify this?

Can I get a definitive answer here, I hope.

Is there ANY front strut bar that WILL fit over a Skunk2 5/8" spacer?

One strut bar vs another........?

Why would you put out that extra cash for the ARC when it doesn't do
anything better than the Richie bar? Everything ARC makes is overpriced
and doesn't work any better than Stillen or Richie's unless you're just into
labels! I've got the MotorDyne 1/2" spacer ISO, Stillen sways and Richies
upper strut bar on my car and they all work.......the sways and strut bar
made my car "Tight" couldn't be any better....plus it fits!

ARC is the most stylish one..

richies is the bang for the buck

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

dude, if money were not an issue, get ARC man....

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
