Front Strut tower brace options???
 
Anyone know of any aftermarket options for the front strut tower brace over the motor? I'm mostly interested in it for engine dress up purposes, but wouldn't mind something thats lighter/stronger also. I searched the internet and see that Zele offers one (which probably costs an arm and a leg), but was wondering if theres any other good brands available. THanks in advance!

u could always chrome/powder coat the stock bar.

IIRC the Zele is around $2.5k and the only one available that would be better than the factory....... Best bet is powdercoating your factory.

Ok thanks guys.... That looks like a good route!

Yeah mine was $60 for the powdercoat and maybe another $40 for the hand painting.

The engine bay may be "classy", but that piece is now quite tacky!

Coming from the guy who thinks any other 370z other than a nismo 370z looks like a "toad"......

strut tower brace with stillen supercharger
 
Hi,

I am looking for a strut tower brace for my g37 with a stillen supercharger. I'm hesitant to buy just any strut tower brace becauase I'm afraid it won't clear the additional plumbing that the supercharger added. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a known strut tower brace that will work with my set up or am I just being paranoid? All help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Here's a link to a post on myg37.com that addresses your question. They had good results with the GT Spec Strut Bar:

Thanks,

I was looking at the GT Spec one but when I called to find out if it would work they were unsure. Now I know. Thank You

This Frankenbrace looks like crap. Like they made it seem all complicated so they could charge a no doubt outrageous sum. :stirthepot:
