That would be considered a body bracing...

Buy it and give a review!

This is a chassis brace. The 370z chassis is already pretty stiff. This will not change the dynamic handling the same way a sway bar that connects the suspension does. That level of chassis bracing (lateral and multi directional) adds weight and will bump you out of many racing classes so it is less favored in motorsport.

Ah! Thanks for that informative response :) i was just trying to get the best handling out of the car.. And im pretty new to the whole better handling mods. I usually just get suspension and call it Day lol

A lot of the stuff UR makes is already on the car stock...

They just recreate it with round piping and white powder coat... maybe a little stronger... maybe a little heavier? It looks good and what not, but I personally doubt it'll be noticeably different than what stock provides.

You think a 'B' pillar strut bar would help the handling?

What are you doing with the suspension here ???
I'm looking in to Drag Racing Coilovers ... for [what else?] __ Drag Racing.
Your car looks exactly like mine did before the AAM Competiton 3" exhaust and switched from the Michelins to the Mickey Thompsons.
Thanks,

What is the car not doing that you are trying to change? There might be better ways to achieve the result you are looking for.

Looking to hedge my bets by considering and researching the suspension.
I'm not a specialist in this area, but IRS and Drag Racing don't seem to be a match made in Heaven.

Just about ready to get my car back from TT build ... and looking now to tame 700+ rwhp and put the power to the ground.
The car didn't hook @ 425 whp with the Stillen SC'r and 19" M/T DRII's.

Tho' the M/T's did cure the wheel hop, the 60' times still need help.

It's a 6mt but have changed the FD to 3.357 [automatic gears]
Quaife LSD with Drive Shaft Shop Axles
Whiteline diff bushings, transmission mount, and diff cover from Z1

17" Volks Racing TE37V and M/T 305's Street Comps.
EcuTek Tune

Only thing left is 'The SQUAT' to consider.
Much rather launch straight and true rather than squat and smush or spin.

Thanks,

Here's a pic of my Z down at AAM Competition [in Maryland] ... almost done :-)
Will be having the 4 wheel alignment done here [NJ] after deciding one way or the other on the Drag Racing Coilovers.
Have checked around trying to get some input ... both KR and D2 offer coilovers advertised as specifically for Drag Racing but have been unsuccessful in finding user input or reviews.
It will be mostly a weekend car now but I will be driving it 'around town' and on other trips out and about as well.
