Installed GT Spec STB today

It really tightened the front end/car up! Just driving it in a stright line I could feel the difference. It tightened it up so much I have vibrations from my exhaust reverbing through the brake pedal. Hard to believe there was that much chasis flex in the car..

Where did you buy this from?
I've been looking to get this strut bar but it's on back order.

I noticed the same as well with the Front STB. Now try the GTspec 4-point brace, that one made a the biggest difference to me. If you jack up your car a lot like I do, you'll see a huge difference in the height at which both wheels from one side get off the ground. Just from that I know I'm not imagining things when i take corners.

b2autodesigns, they are a sponsor on here and I got it for $189 shipped. Riverside Infiniti also contacted me and they had them for $184 shipped so check with either of them.

I have the skunk 2 plenum spacer and with the STB all the way up in the slots it does not touch the plenum cover. I don't have the engine cover on it due to the plenum spacer. If you want pics I can take them and send them to you.

I wish I could install the 4-point brace bar on my car. But that's a disaster waiting to happen to anyone who is significantly lowered

I have to look at that; when I was under the car doing the HFC's there was something that resembled a 4 point brace...anyone know what that is?

Is the 4 pt brace a bolt on or weld on?

Will the 4 point brace work on a sedan?

Will the strut bar clear the OEM engine cover?

It should; mine is off since I have the plenum spacer and the STB clears the plenum/spacer.
