That's an interesting bar, but can't change the height, so it's for sure going to rub with the liner?

Depends on how high from the engine cover it's been set. It certainly looks more rigid than the GTSpec.

how are we only hearing about this bar now? lol but good to know nonetheless.

Price looks good. I looked at the other pics on the website, it looks like its pretty close to the engine cover. Less possibility of rub perhaps?

interesting.. someone jump on this and let us know! hehee

Thanks! Will post pics of the install and let you know how the car feels after. Mine is a 2004 A/T coupe. Have not upgraded the sways yet. Doing this first, since it is less expensive and an easier install.

That Circuit Sports STB link is for the G37 coupe.

Pretty sure this thread is about an STB for the 2nd gen G35 sedan.

Based on the ebay listing for the GT Spec STB, it looks like the 2nd gen G35 sedan and the G37 coupe share identical STB specifications, as the same bar is listed to fit both cars.

Since MarkDC has the wrong car, who's gonna be first to put a Circuit Sports STB on a 2nd gen G35 sedan ?
