Circuit sports SB rubbing

That is from a quick 5 min search. I know there are countless other threads on those topics


So please explain to me why I do not have rubbing problems ...neither do the many people that I met at ZdayZ either?? The ARC can be adjusted all the way down onto the plenum.....

I have even been asked to bring my car over to one of the shops show how is it that my STB was not rubbing...and the customer saw that when he was locking the nuts down the ARC bar would rise. You have to have someone push down as you lock it.

The ARC STB fits the same on all G's... If it fit on my car...it will fit on all....cant say the same for this RA STB.

Go back and reread my posts. It was in response to IP's post saying the RA bar was the only one that had clearance issues. I am not defending the RA fitment issues. I clearly stated that. I don't know why yours doesn't rub. Kenchan's does, even when he adjusted it all the way down. That means either the tolerances on the ARC product are poor, or there is quite a bit of variance in G35's from car to car. The richie/nrg bars are clones of the ARC design and many people have rubbing issues as I've shown.

There is still no evidence to support the claim that all STB manufacturers have fitment issues when it comes to G35c or that said issue is inherent to the G35c coupe. We still have yet to be shown that either GT Spec or Stillen have these problems. So far we have seen that 2 Taiwanese branded names (NRG/Ritchie) and RA (I can't imagine that these are not also Chinese/Taiwanese made either and am almost certain that they are private labeled by RA) and a couple of peeps saying that their ARC (Japanese high end) have fitment issues. Seems like a simple deduction, but then again, who am I? Lol.

Any car can benefit from a good strut bar. There is a reason why the G won't get one from the factory... it's not as sports oriented like the Z.

Woah, Woah, Woah,.... some of us consider our G35 6MT's "sport oriented" from the factory even though they didn't come with a strut bar.

Afterall, it says "sport suspension" on the window sticker from the factory.

Let's ask doug to settle the debate,... he'll know,... he knows everything (just like Mikey).

It's a sports oriented entry level luxury car, an entry level GT car, a sporty luxury car, it doesn't matter what you want to call it. They will never make the G out handle a Z from the factory...
