I'm considering this part but was told they are only noticably functional with coil-overs and depending on which tires you have, i was told the tire will slide (depending on model) before the chassis will flex. Any feedback would help thanks.
It looks very nice!

I'm on G35 H Techs, and the stock tires

but it looks good... cant wait to get mine... good job!

Well yeah..I guess because after I got the H-Techs on my car, I wasn't really satisfied with the ride and handling it gave..if anything made my car feel worse than stock...

So getting the strut made it feel a lot better for me..you're on coils lol so your ride was definitely handling a lot better than mine on soft springs

Thats would be a NON-fitting strut bar, the gap isn't large tho. Try sticking your head in.

Maybe put some clay on top of the strut bar, close the hood and see how squashed it is.

A lot less body roll...as I said before..this is also because I felt my handling got worse after I got the H Techs put on..

They're actually adjustable so if you keep it at the medium adjustment, it won't hit. At the highest adjustment, it'll hit the liner.

Btw, I'm the one with the 07 sedan that choy boy jacked the strut bar from =) lol

i thought Front strut bars dont really help in handling unless u have everything else like coils sways and etc..
i heard rears doees more compared to the fronts.
