It would depend on the other suspension mods you have. Unless your going to track the car money is better spent on sway bars, GT spec Tie braces and improved coil over suspension.

I bought my NRG front strut more for superficial means to balance the look of a performance engine bay.

The strut bar is stronger than any other I've seen for the G35 - I'd take it over the VRT. the VRT is retarded expensive and the Circuit Sport is like $135.

The only people that I've seen have problems had the Ritchie/NRG strut bar. In order to bend the circuit sport you'd be bending other things too - like control arms.

Even better with tie bars and a well designed rear strut bar!




IMHO, most strut bars barely do anything unless they are at least paired with fender braces. Strut bars are supposed to hold the strut mount points apart from each other, but the most effective strut bars being single piece or better yet, 3 point for even more rigidity up front. But since a 3 point strut bar attaching to the firewall isn't possible in this engine bay, a strut bar with fender braces do the same, but since fender braces are hard to find for this car, even though it is a 3 piece, the Relentless strut bar is the next best option. And most of these 3 piece strut bars... they kinda work, but I guess that's alright for most of you.
