Phase II VRT Strut tower brace done
This one definitely took a little finesse to get it installed.
I'll post more install info in the tech area & link it from here.
This bar is everything others have said & more.
I could not believe the difference this made in the car.
Like someone else said b4, I could feel the difference just backing out of the driveway.
Just driving down the road & hitting irregularities....
you can actually feel the suspension working without jarring the car.
& steering.. it's like a scalpel compared to a machete.
Don't get me wrong, it's still no sports car... but WOW.

^that's very interesting. Sounds like a great mod. I did not expect you to notice that much difference but that is obviously wrong indeed. 
I almost wish you would stop testing all this new stuff. I can't keep up.

Great mod Ian and a great Diy on the Tech forum
. I thought there would be clearance issues also with the hood. I installed a STB on one of our older Maximas and it made a huge difference when pushing the car through the twisties. It was like a different car in those circumstances.
How many more tricks are up your sleeve

Think I know what that is about. Yyour behind and legs will thank you.
I'm the same, front bumper has to come back off for a few more hidden new parts, clear bra to go on, alignment needed, and shine detail to come.
