=============================================================

Howdy folks,

A user [name removed post group buy] on the FB M/Q group has reached out to a vendor called SoulFunction about possibly creating a front strut bar for the Y50 chassis M (06-10). For those who don't know what a front strut bar is, it's a brace that attaches to both strut towers in the engine bay and provides a bit of rigidity for the chassis which in turn helps keep the car more level/planted/firm in cornering. It's a worthwhile mod. The problem, up until now, is that the only company that ever made such a bar for the Y50 M wanted like $450 for the part which is INSANE. It should cost no more than $200, max. That's exactly the price point of the SoulFunction bar (which is currently being made for the Infiniti G guys). It's actually $206 per their site.

We'd need 20 people to put down $75 each (and remainder when product is done) to get this done. I am currently not sure if they will need a test mule to go out to their building in Minnesota, but I think we can get someone there if need be.......RIGHT? :chuckle:

Figured I'd put the word out for the community in case anyone was interested.

Here is a picture of the front strut bar (for the G):

[name2 removed post group buy]

What happened to [name removed post group buy] and [name removed post group buy]? Those are from my list...did you email with them and they backed out? If [name removed post group buy] (FB) backed out, we should be at 20 because [name removed post group buy] (Enigma on here) posted yesterday that he's in.

EDIT: Just saw your FB post. We should definitely be at 20 already and if [name removed post group buy] and [name removed post group buy] respond, 22.

Vendor will be contacting people over the course of the next couple of weeks. I believe they have already test fitted on an M45.

Welcome to the forum. This might not work for your car (I see you have a QX56?) but I'm sure SoulFunction will let you know what's up.
