Still nothing noticeable.
A sway bar will do much more for you that you will actually FEEL!

I agree sway bars do help way more than x-brace. But there is a difference between an x-brace and a strut x brace/bar. And to say that an x-brace does nothing is not absolute and can be misleading. Just saying. Yea I have an x-brace and it barely is noticeable.

The Lower X brace, and the X brace in the strut bar are not the same thing.
The X brace in the strut bar does virtually nothing, the Lower X brace tightens the handling a little bit.

Here you can see the Lower Support X Brace goes.
Lower X Brace Support

And here is the one you linked, they install on entirely different parts.
X Brace Strut Bar
If you scroll down on that link you can see more pictures installed, and you can also see how the intake has to sneak between the X and the top bar, i know some people have had clearance issues.

Hope this clears things up

Yes plenty of time, check my index thread, or do a site search of Sokie tech. They raise your hood 4 degrees higher. You can get NRG hood dampers for 125 tho, that's what I would do.

If ur set on that discount price, they work fine, and have held up fine.

Anyone ever bought this spoiler before?

The previous owner had it and the trunk has skuff marks from where it was mounted. If I replace it, I can get away without repainting the trunk for a while, its doesn't look too bad either.

I'd be very interested to see if that's the Mugen 3 piece replca or te back yard special, I'm pretty sure it's the BYS

well according to this website and some other ones that i have found. these are good.

here's a review on one of the website i found, it's a g35 forum. http://g35driver.com/forums/interior-exter...per-struts.html the user name jaedoggz had them on for 2 years and had no problems with them. i'm not really sure but, the g35 hoods weight more than ours? i'm talking stock for stock.

i'm thinking of purchasing a set of these hood damper kits. thanks for bringing it up!
