Scott had this quote in June of last year:

Yes, I did develope the first working strut tower brace produced for these cars (G35's)

If there was a better made STB on the market, than I would gladely stop producing these. The material is expensive and there is not realy any profit in making these. But after seeing the other designs out there, and not to mention the meterials, it looks like I will keep on making these. I have put alot of time, effert and thought into desighing these STB's to work with most all aplications including... plenums, plenum spacers, TT kits SC's, different CAI's, etc. I HAVE NOT sold my design to GT Spec. I work closely with them and we are involved in many projects together. I am looking into having them manufacture these STB's and severall other things for me. For now, these STB's are still being made by me and are available through Relentless Autosports.

His Web Site is here:

http://www.relentlessautosports.com/

But there doesn't appear to be an easy way to reach him. Good Luck on you search, his STB is certainly worth it.

is there anyone that has an arc strut bar and a coilover or adjustable shock combination? I was wondering if the mounts on the arc bar will clear adjustment ***** on most coilovers. I want the arc strut bar but i was wondering if it has the same clearance problems as the richie version 1 strut bar.. i need something that will clear the ***** on my buddy club racing spec dampers
thanks
johnny

In most cases no, the **** will contact the Strut Bar Mounts. In my case,
I cut, moved the mount over (from its original location), then added a piece and rewelded.

Before I came across my ARC Bar, I contacted GTSpec about Scott's Bar
and they told me that they were not producing them. Thus...option #2.
