If you do it, it'd only be for cosmetics. Do you wish to replace the main strut brace or the extra one up front as well.

The ARC looks great, but is quite pricey.

Look into the cusco strut bar. A nice looking piece that is decently priced.

Hmm, I wasn't aware that the old strut bars did not fit HRs.

The whole argument that aftermarket strut braces are "stiffer and more rigid" than the stock is BS IMO...

Well I guess the '03-06 bars don't fit, but there is this one https://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z/...assis-bar.html

I can't confirm, but it may be just a prototype and not in actual production.

What exactly makes other bars "stiffer" or "more rigid" than others?
