Default front tower brace.

last i heard ARC was making a front brace for the G coupe, has any one heard or have any info on front brace for this car. I mean why aren't there any other company out there trying to make this product? I'm sure i'm not the only one that will buy it.

Has any one tried to modify a 350z front brace to fit the G?

vrt in cali is making a nice brace for the G. I was considering buying it, but will probably wait till the summer/fall.
I don't think the Z brace can be modified. The strut towers are very different. check out the thread on g35driver...

The ARC one costs more than the VRT one and I think only the VRT one will support an aftermarket plenum or spacer

It isn't a simple matter of 2 tower rings & a bar like most designs..

Due to the design requirements, (for an effective bar)
I doubt anyone will produce anything much cheaper, that works.

There's those GT Spec lower braces...
JMO, but those are more about bling than functionality.
- they mount parallel to the structure they're trying to stabilize, with no triangulation.
- at best they stiffen the flanges a bit... all but worthless.

Yeh I realize that. I've never looked under the hood of a G35. I'm surprised they don't come stock with a stb.

g was engineered to be not as harsh on the suspension like the z...stiff suspension and osteoperosis is not a good combo
