From an earlier thread on my sedan drop,here are some pictures of the VRT Strutbrace..As others have said it does make a noticeable difference in handling..I've only had it on for a week so I haven't been able to test it as much as I would like..

Nice strut brace install. I'm sure it makes a big difference in terms of handling. I guess the only downside to this is that the strut bar is in the way of the oil dipstick

VRT makes them, they are the only place to get it. They were ~$400 but Michael told me the price was going up a little.

I suggest getting the GT Spec lower tie bar too if you're going to get the FSTB. The VRT brace is expensive but it is also worth it.

Yes it's expensive but everyone who has installed one loves it and believes the price is worth it.

The performance is worth it but the craftsmanship does not appear to be $400+ worth.

That's for the 350Z, not the G35. I don't believe it will clear the hood on the G.
