Granted that our cars are built pretty stiff as it its, but do think adding a FSTB or a RSTB would be of any benifit? And have any companies made one for our cars yet?

We put one on my son`s Acura Integra and it made a lot of difference in rigidity. The bar is adjustable and the bolting pattern looks similiar to the Altima`s. It probably isn`t though.

It would be beneficial IMHO, if we continue to bolt on more hp

I'm also wondering about clearance. I could see one coming out for the QR25 guys but real estate is hard to find with the VQ35.

Excellent point. I would run a coat hanger across with some white out on it and then close the hood. That would give you some idea of what we are up against.

If your car is lowered, the suspension geometry is changed enough to place added pressure on the towers. I think it could be a benificial addition.

I've beean asking around about these to no avail. I want one. If you find them let me know.

time for everyone to start sending emails. If you come across a company, send them an email and report back who you contacted.

No report back if someone actually replies to your email.

I looked at the car again closely and I believe that it would not benefit from either a front or rear STB. The rear strut tower is just a shock mount, and the fronts are already tied in with the unibody only a few inches back from the strut towers.

Hey were you in my garage this morning? I did the same thing. Same conclusion...

I was looking at the front bar on the 350Z this am. It is low riding and doesn`t interfer with the hood. Then again, maybe nothing more is needed on our Rides.

One would fit for sure. The benefit of one doesn't seem to be there.

EVen though this might be the case. I'm going to develop one. stay tuned.

Is there a difference between space on 2.5 and 3.5?

Looking at my 2.5 its a tight fit, but its do-able.
