This looks like a way better strut bar. There has to be a loss of rigidity in the GT bar with those hokey looking attachment points.

What the X guys need the most is front shocks or coilovers. Swaybars would be nice though....at least the front one.

That one is super cheap too. It will become the most common one you see on here.

there isn't a loss of rigity in this bar. the weld points push the contact of the car and the stiffness into the ends of the center bar. again, this is a prototype strut bar but makes a huge difference.

i'm not knocking on any other strut bar out there but the fact that it took a while to install this strut bar b/c of how stiff it holds the car in place this is what you want to make a strut bar useful.

here's the problem -- '05-06 and '03-04 have different trunks and hoods. some lip kits might come about though

I guess with the strut bar you cannot run the stock engine cover due to the tight fit. It looks good and interested in getting one.

The trunk is the same. Different reverse lights but they fit both.

I'm not 100% sure that strut bar would clear the Greddy TT intake pipe. Not a big problem for most people.

it is for you and me, though!!! I have been thinking about buying the steel strut tower mounting plates for a 350Z and have them welded on to the G so that I can put one of those beautiful dry carbon strut tower braces on.

they're a very reputable company. i know they get their parts sent out to Asia to get them manufactured but they give them all the exact specs. quality on their products have been top tier asking members who have their products so you do get what you paid for.

the owners are hard core in the car scene mostly started out w/ sube's but the VQ world is their top priority right now
