The FQ360 is a representation of maximum safe tuning on a stock evo X turbo/engine. Eye candy aside, the only differences performance wise between a normal GSR and the FQ360 would be:
1) HKS exhaust
2) HKS airfilter + HKS intake
3) ECU remap (boost modified)
It was also remarked in a recent episode of TOPGEAR (29/6/08) that the FQ360 isnt as fuel friendly as its FQ300 variant which makes sense to deduce that HKS did alter the boost range in the 360's ECU.
There's no difference between the FQ360 and the stock X GSR in that you can choose to make your GSR a 360 too. Just dump in a good exhaust, air filter and induction mods, boost controller and an ECUtek tune and u'll be running rwhp 360 easy.
They do get the sick carbon vortex generator.. damn.... i want that bad.

didn't you read what the op wrote? and what is 360rwhp???
Pretty sure that front splitter on the 360 is the OEM lip offered here in the states just in carbon fiber.
I also think it's pretty cool that the states now have something that is comparable to the FQ series offered in the UK... that being the 311RS by Ryan Gates.
I have a authentic FQ360 front lip on my car, they are not the same as the oem lip they are carbon fiber and have notches in the sides like the SE lip on the evo IX. I've had both the oem lip and the FQ lip and they have some key differences fitment wise also. Not by much thou, You have to cut a little off the fq front lip to make it fit the us spec front bumper. Also there are hooks in the inner portion of the lip you have to be removed to make it fit our bumpers. The rubber strip at the bottom is also much different. Its much longer and has no indention. I swapped it out for the us spec rubber strip. I dont know of anyone else in the US with one besides me, most people mistake it for the oem lip. Its quite costly to obtain but it is nice. Theres one guy on here with the vortex generator ... FQ360 parts are much easier to come by than FQ400s or at least they were till the 360 was discontinued ....
