$400 will be the starting price for it powder coated (gloss black will be the standard color) and with all necessary hardware and instructions. I can do other colors (and chrome) for a "reasonable" additional price.

If interested, email me at wa2good@hotmail.com

Thanks.

No not yet. I had a test fit car (sedan) lined up but they moved away. I will let someone have one of these for almost half price if they will let me have their car for a day or two to test fit it.

Damn, well I was looking at this post wanting one of these like a mother.... but then the price. I think $300 would be a great price, but then again, it's not like anyone can readily go out and buy these (or anything like it) at will.

That's some pretty good margin for a strut tower brace. If you would be willing to get me one for $300 I'll take it right now. Either way, thank you for making such a donation to the G35 community.

PM me.

Thanks for the complament.

Sorry, I don't think it would be too fair to my other customers (who have paid $400+ for one) if I sold you a STB for less.
I feel, and so do others that it is well worth the money, these cars (G35's) needed one pretty bad.

That's what sales are for

How much of a difference did you notice one you put it in? Do you have a rear sway set up as well?

To tell you the truth there is QUITE a noticeable difference with this brace on, and even more of a difference when added to existing suspension mods. This STB definately increases the structural rigidity allowing less chassis flex to let your suspension do it's job, taking full advantage of other suspension mods (like sway bars etc.)

Stillen already makes a rear STB for these cars and it seems to work well.
