Yes. The difference isn't as big as sway bars, but you can feel the better handling. At least, that was my impression from my GT Spec strut bar.

If you really enjoy driving your G35 the upper strut bar will tighten up your ride and even better when combined with aftermarket sways and adjustable endlinks....

Unless it's a Relentless/VRT strut bar like Beebo has, it's going to make a very minor difference. Unless you really like the look of having one, and especially if you don't already have the mandatory Motordyne mods (spacer, MREV2, sway bars etc.), I'd save my money for something with a bit more result.

^^ Have to agree...my NRG made only a slight difference, but I like the way it looks and that's the main reason I bought it. Yeah, I'm a poser.

Looking good Swivel.

My strut bar produced some unexpected results. It eliminated several squeaks in my dash when I installed it. Well worth the money!!
