Stillen Rear Strut Bar

Does anyone have it? How do you like it? Was it hard to put on? Do you have pictures? I heard that it sits in the trunk. I'm just wondering if it's worth getting and how hard it will be to install. Thanks!!

Save your money. I use to have a rear strut brace on my Maxima and it was worthless. The G35 has a much stiffer chassis than my Maxima ever did which makes it even more pointless for rear strut brace. Since the rear strut towers are tied into the roof of the car, there's really no need for addtional bracing.

If you have a big, heavy speaker box in the trunk that likes to slide when you hit the accelerator pedal and/or the brake pedal, the strut tower brace would be a handy addition. You could bungee your speaker to the RSTB, and then no more sliding/tipping/banging around back there. The RSTB may also help your handling, if only a little bit...

I have it, Don't feel any different except for the fact that I lost trunk space.
