You won't gain anything or drive your car hard where you would feel a difference. Most are just for looks.

No. Look at the design of the brace. Does it hold the top of the strut brace?

+1 on the oem. Have it polished. I still can't get over the fact that I can't sport one, due to the crawford plenum and TN combination.

I was thinking about getting the stillen Strut bar, to clear my 1/2" spacer. Is it worth the money, or should I just go without a strut bar? I really only drive my Z on the street, allthough I do plan on getting into autoX some time next year. Any opinions?

We need pics!

I've seen a few different strut bars and most types are like my Cusco (not adjustable) and have pivot points of sorts. The OEM is probably the best due to the adjustabilty factor.

Does the OEM bar clear without the plastic engine cover? I don't remember how close it was when I had mine and the cover off.
