I actually have a brace, for a 350Z, from Sound Performance and I guarantee that it won't fit. It's too big and needs to be redone. The spacing between the differential and main support beam (where the rear diff bushing is installed) on the 370Z is smaller and closer than the 350Z. There isn't a lot of room or beam material to install a brace on the 370Z. I would be hesitant to actually install one of those braces, as the main support beam could actually be weakened by installing a brace to the diff and develop stress cracks over time

I have a SPL bushing kit for the diff for a 370Z and a 350Z and there are differences. The rear bushing on a 370Z is smaller. Whereas the 2 front bushings on the diff are the same size.

Updates to follow this spring during the install.
