when a car corners the body moves, rolls and flexes. all these things cause unstableness in the chassis one of the weakest parts is the strut towers one because the metal is extremely thing second when the suspension compresses all the energy from that flex is pushed upwards into the strut towers and into the chassis. A strut tower brace absorbs that flex which takes it away from the car itself making it handle better. as far as if any are avail yet i dont know of any but expect 3 major JDM tuners in jan, ARC, TOP SECRET and CUSCO

The G37 is supposedly something like %37 stiffer than the G35. I think their literature makes this claim or I saw it in multiple reviews. I also read that it is one of the stiffest chassis cars with a fold-down back seat. I would think that any after-market stiffening is unnecessary.

well what do you judge your necessity by? a chassis no matter how perfect you think it is can always be improved on. Maybe you dont need front and rear STB's because you dont track your car or use it in a manner that would justify buying them. But I track my cars so i want the added stiffness. At the end of the day if my car with a front and rear stb is going to handle better then one without.

STB makes the car much more refine... ive put one in every car i owned..felt the best in the G35...loved it...made such a difference in how the car went normally around turns, much more stable...no roll...stillen should come out with something soon...

Stb's are good starting area's but drive a car with stb's front and rear, front chassis brace, front cross chassis brace, front under cross brace, fender braces, under chassis brace, rear lower tie bar, rear cross brace, sways, and chassis plates. throw in a roll cage and your set.. thats how my S2000 is. now that is STIFFFFFFF

I think the G37 needs a strut brace. Can't wait until there is a selection.

A Pic of that that Bar is Here:

I have a VRT STB on my G35 Coupe. It stiffened it up a LOT. Corners like it's on rails. I'll never own another car without a properly designed STB again.
