front support brace
Just wondering if any of you have this installed
http://www.alteredatmosphere.com/mm5...Code=350Z_SUSP
Did you feel it made any difference? Obviously you have to remove it any time you want to clean/replace the air filters, but I guess that is no big deal.
I'm thinking it looks pretty good (and it fits the HR engine!)

Buy two of them, use some washers for clearance and mount one on top of the other. Then it will be twice as stiff!
Be sure to add the Nismo Z, GT Spec, and Tanabe bracing as well.

I am waiting for data showing how these braces (and others)...
1)Improve structural rigidity
or
2)Improve suspension function
or
3)Increase longevity of other components
or
4)Decrease lap times
Now, I anticipate that one of the responses will be something along the lines of, "I can feel...". If that is the case, the "feeling" would be measureable in some manner. If arguments were made to the contrary then a double-blind test between braced and unbraced cars would be required.

So why do you think Nissan bothered to put these on the Nismo 350Z?
That is what still leaves me with a little uncertainty.
