Given its ARCing shape, material used, and hinging points, I would (sadly) not expect too much performance out of it.
Believe me I was glad that a bigger company was starting to make and produce these STB's, meant that I wouldn't have to anymore (these cost alot to make and are a pain in the ****), yet after seeing and studying it, I see that for an "effective STB", I WILL need to keep on producing these, until someone makes one that works as good, or better than our VRT one.
I have yet to hear of anyone (a consumer) that has actually received or installed one yet, so I am very interested to hear about it. Thanks in advance for the post and pics.

Yes, I am in the process of having the rear STB made for the G coupes. I know that Stillen makes one, I even own one and we have installed it on severall VRT built G coupes. The VRT one will be similer to the Stillen one.
I am also finishing up the first (prototype) set of our very own camber and caster adjustable front upper controll arms for the Z's and G's.
We soon will have our own line (VRT Pro series) of suspension products, from coilovers to front and rear strut tower braces, and almost everything inbetween.
Stay tuned....................

If anyone with a G in the San Diego/ So.Cal. area with a TN ST kit wants to let me test fit/ R&D one of these STB's on their car let me know. I will give you one at almost 50% off (pretty much at cost)......any takers, let me know.

I drove Scott's G35 out at Streets of Willow last weekend and loved the way it felt with the front strut tower brace. It felt like a Z which is awesome. I have a G35 as well, so I could tell the difference right off the bat. I was pleasantly suprised that I could actually feel that much of a difference. I thought it would be one of those mods that you can't really tell you installed when driving, but it was awesome. The G35 needed it pretty badly.
