I need to buy a new strut bar..since my car does not have one..not sure why, so I need some comments on strut bars..which one is best! I'm going to get a 5/16 spacer so keep that in mind.

Also, i really like the looks of the greddy one so pictures of them would be nice too..and comments or complaints about the greddy.

I went with ARC for the bling factor and plus it is titanium and super light (1.2lbs). That is with a 5/16" Motordyne Plenum spacer installed

Would I have to remove my plastic engine cover with that one?

Does anyone have the JIC, quick responses would be nice, I will be ordering tomorrow.

Cusco is not a bad choice. I love the ARC but $$$$$$$$$$$$.

I want that ARC Rick where and how much ?

Bday350z

The ARC is very expensive its almost $500 compared to most that are around 2-300$

No, I just removed mine along with most of the useless engine plastic

I would suggest going through Performance Nissan or Z1auto.com for this one, but if it is for you personally or someone you know I can get it cheaper

With the 5/16 spacer-----Dollars and Cents wise go with a used stock one and have ur local Powder Coat Guy do his thing to it. To others ----I really wouldnt leave it out, Its a STRUT bar, It stiffens the top of the two struts and eliminates the flex u get on hard cornering. Its important to adjust it properly also.

how do you properly adjust the strut bar?

Nuts should be at 20 FtLBs Bolts at 30 FtLBs---Loosen lock nuts and turn center Hex nut CCW looking at it from the front and to the left ( Top of nut turns towards the front )---Turn it till have a .400 - .675 space between bar and upper plenum.
Thats with all stock components. Main thing is u want there to be a load on it

How would that fit when I can't fit anything over the plenum...

if you haven't removed it, don't screw with it. Especially YOU.
