It does with a little finesse. You have to manuever it a bit and manuever the engine cover back on, but it does go on. I'll try and get you a pic this weekend when I bring it out.

As far as I know, nothing changes between the coupe/sedan beyond adjustments. However I will talk to Cusco today and make sure. Thanks.

The general consensus about the Cusco A-arms was that they don't adjust enough to correct many of our negative camber issues.

Irish Skyline...

1. Will the Cusco Front Strut Brace fit with the OEM Infiniti engine cover AND a 5/16" Spacer?

2. Can you send me pics of the front AND rear mounted?

My email is ryderx1@hotmail.com

My bad, you guys are talking about the strut bar, not the a-arm.

Holy #&^&*$^#! I am glad I finally received over 10 hours of sleep. This is exactly why you shouldn't post under too much stress on your last week of opening a business, and without sleep, not to mention having both a Z and a G35 and posting on both forums. I think I created too much confusion! When I was referring to the Cusco suspension components, and the price, I was referring to the sway bar setup for front/rear. There are a few strut bars on the market for our car, however the big guys like Cusco to the best of my knowledge have not been able to fabricate one while using the VQ35 engine. (Supposedly from my contact in Japan there is a prototype, but no pics he can release to me) I have seen one used on an RB26 swap, but different parameters as far as engine clearance. I know there is a guy who made his own, check the suspension posts, but I have yet to hear any unofficial responses to the quality. It also doesn't make sense, being that there would be too much pressure to close to the attachments. We do have a front strut bar on our Z, but why would that matter, right? Either way I apologize for creating the confusion, and trust I will give you all the right information when requested. Thanks to some of you who made it by on Saturday, we had lots of fun meeting you, and of course showing off some of our toys, not to mention showing off the Spoon DC5. Stay tuned for more excitement, possibly a Friday night meet of all imports, a car show around the Memorial day weekend, and a few track days courtesy of NASA.

Igns+1

Do you have Igns+1 products for the coupe in stock? When will the site be fully up and running for us to order parts?

Let me know what you are looking for specifically, and I will see what I can come up with. My speciality has always been JDM despite the fact I grew up in Germany, but I am quickly building my contacts for DTM parts as well. I carry everything from suspension components, carbon fiber hoods, aero parts, exhausts, wheel applications, etc... Surprisingly alot of the best parts for the E46 are being fabricated in Japan by companies like Zerosun, Amuse, and of course the very expensive Dixis Spirit. Thanks.
