I would be cautious about the 2008-2012 statement, maybe it is a mistake but the engine was different in 2008. 2009-2017 are the years that would apply to the second generation fx/qx.

It should still clear the motors arent that different size wise. I have a DIY for front strut posted on here FYI.

So If I picked up one for a G37 I should be good as far as fitment goes? Thinking of picking up one in the next few days and I want to make sure I am good before I shell out the money.

Any follow up from the folks who were planning to test fit STB's from other Infiniti models?

Got mine off the internet. Works and fits fine, straight from China.
Don’t drive hard without one. My gen 1 had a Stillen, this one is pretty much a “No Name “ but it’s a little sturdier by the looks and size of it.
Mine looks like the one below.

Yep, didn't really have to move or re position any lines or hoses. It's a little bit of a squeeze on the drivers side to get around the brake lines. All in all very easy to install.
Heres' mine, thanks for the recommendation.

Have you noticed any difference in ride since installing? I can't really tell because I got new wheels and wider lower profile tires around the same time.
Yes i think it feels flatter in the corners.

Oh yes, ordering this tonight! Been looking for years it seems for a GT Spec or Dragon (Sohail on here). Wish we knew the G37 bars fit earlier!
I put a Stillen bar on my Gen1 and while it didn't transform the truck into a 911, it did keep the front a little more tighter/composed. Not really flatter (that's the sway bar/springs, not the strut bar), but less deflection/squish in the front chassis. I expect a similar modest improvement on the gen 2. Our hoods are so long and the engine bay has no other bracing like this, so mechanically it's asking for distortion/flex in the turns.
