Thumbs up GT Spec Strut Bar Test Fitting Results

So they test fitted the GT Spec Strut Bar on my car today..and it fit perfectly. It was previously on Paul's 2nd gen sedan, and I drove home with it today, and it was great. A big difference in handling and a lot less body roll..I was taking turns at higher speeds to test it out and it felt great to say the least..I can only recommend this to everyone once they go into production!

Big thanks to everyone at GT Spec for doing this for me and I hope all you guys jump on this when it comes out! Here's some pics for you guys..

So am I understanding that this FSTB that fits the '03-'06 G35 Sedan is an exact fit for the '08 G37 as well? Hmmmm...

Oops! That's actually what I meant in post 6 - the new body style as opposed to the 1st Gen 03 - 06.

I'm curious to know are you on coil-overs and which tires do you have?
I'm considering this part but was told they are only noticably functional with coil-overs and depending on which tires you have, i was told the tire will slide (depending on model) before the chassis will flex. Any feedback would help thanks.
It looks very nice!

Are you being serious when you say big difference is handleing with just the FSTB?
I know they help a little but I have never had a FSTB give drastic handling changes like a RSB would do...?

but it looks good... cant wait to get mine... good job!
