Strut Tower Braces

Guys has anyone installed this strut bar?
Circuit Sports Aluminum Strut Bar : G37 Coupe


If so how do you like it, If not are there any others besides the GTSpec for our G37 Coupes? Please give me your feedback as I plan on buying a strut bar in the next week.

Thanks!!

I thought that never went into production, I would double check before you buy one. And as of right now there is only the GTSpec that I know of man

Basically, as far as performance goes, it doesn't really make any difference which one you choose. If it is rigid and attaches to the strut towers, any bar will accomplish the same effect of stiffening the front suspension. I've had one on my Maxima for about 8 years that I bought on eBay for $10. It works just fine.

FYI - I called and they have them in stock. I ordered and it should ship out tonight. I will update you guys (with pics) after I get it installed should be in about a week as i am waiting to get my stitches removed form my left thumb and index finger. Had a little fight with a electric miter-box saw and it won!

I think that a member on here had problems with the Circuit and aftermarket intakes with full metal piping. IF you have stock intakes or JWT, you should be ok.

That was me; it won't fit with aftermarket intake piping....sorry but you'll have to return it and eat the re-stocking fee. Don't even try to install they won't take it back if you do...
