Front Strut Brace material??
 

What is it made of? Steel? It seems very heave.

i want to say aluminum.

I know Zele makes one out of Titanium, but its like $3K

from the weight and welds of the front STB, im thinking steel. :icon14:

come to think of it, aluminum might bend under hard driving conditions.

It wouldn't bend, more likely to crack if that weak.

Im thinking steel as well. Its too heavy to be a aluminum.

cool I'll start on a carbon fiber one

woah... in for picts! :tup:

CF has minimal thermal expansion so this would actually be more effective in the engine bay than steel... and much much lighter weight.

It may not be a looker, but it will be strong. look at the material from dragonplate.com

really? exotic cars use CF braces for their engine bays. looks :yum:

Unicorn bone

Put a magnet on it, if it sticks, steel. If not, alum.

you sound like a PDR guy. :tup:

Nope, just a powdercoater and airline pilot :)

3k wtf it better give ya like 100 hp ...

Yea, I really don't get it. If you can afford to spend 3 grand on a strut brace, you should have bought something more intense/exotic than a 370z in the first place.

JMHO

.. and replace that accordian already! :D

Found this, may start with it and add carbon supports back to the firewall.

yah... wish they'd include the supports to the firewall.

i have their stb for my G35C.

It there an ARC website?

not sure...

I believe they went out of business.

Mike, have you had to remove the Nismo emblem on the Strut bar before powder coating it, if so, what's the best way to do it? Thanks in advance! :tiphat:

after drive, wear gloves, and pull up the emblem... pull up... terrain pull up terrain pull up... :eekdance:
