I'd like to get strut tower braces for the sedan but I'm not finding many reasonably priced options...I take it a 350Z's strut tower brace would only fit the g35 coupe?

 

i think $215 is pretty reasonable for the gtspec one

 

It's just an alumninum bar and bracket...I've bought ebay ones for my previous car which included front, rear, and a crossmember brace for 120 after shipping so 215 for just a front brace is unreasonable to me.

 

Still not out for our rides. I had a pre-order for $198 with a gtspec recommended vendor back in April. I just got my money back as they are still not out. There is a test fitment thread over on myG37.com. Unless I am misunderstanding the posts over there, it seems the same bar will work with both the g37 and 07+g35 sedan. We shall see, but I won't be the first

 

Theres only been one person ive seen with a strut bar on a 07/08 sedan. i cant remember their user name though.

 

So if the G37 fits the Sedan...wonder if a 350z's would fit both....

Edit: Nahh looks like the top had on the strut has 3 points on the G and 4 on the 350

 

You cant compair ebay products that are mass produced with no quality control to a company that does R/D to determine what the car actually needs

 

^+1

 

For most products I'd whole heartedly agree. For a strut tower brace, R&D is next to nothing.

 

I hate to tell you but you could not be more wrong. So you are telling me that the type of metal plays no effect in the overall stiffness of the car, or 100% fitment is easily ubtained. I have had my time in the engineering field and good compays survive for a reason, quality.

I am just tell you this for your own good, Ebay products are knock-offs of real things with no engineering behind them. Why do you think it is so cheap they cut corners.

If you dont believe me try it out.

 

I'm guessing you've worked in research and development for aftermarket automotive companies from this statement. There is R&D that goes into a lot of products that might even seem irrelevant, but it's not. Strength of materials, stress points, static force being applied. You just can't say, oh it's a piece of metal with bolts on it, my autocad project is DONE!

Also, I can buy $30 HID bulbs off ebay but we all know they're going to burn out at an unreasonable rate, not work right, or is made from cheap materials. The phillips ones cost like $160. For the most part in all consumer products, you get what you pay for bro. Go get a mitsubishi eclipse or a subaru wrx if you wanna throw a bunch of junk on your car man.

 

I know paulg35s has one on his blue slate...

 

Yup, and he is the one that passed it on to CHoy Boy for G37 fitment.

Looks like this design will fit our sedans and the g37 coupe.

 

I really really like my gtspec strut bar. =)

 

is there much benefit to strut bars on our cars?


here's the link to the GT Spec strut bar for our cars.

Sounds pretty nifty:
