I noticed a difference with the FSTB, it really tightened up the steering response. Here's a bigger pic, same as my sig. I don't really have any that are very good, maybe I'll try and take a few today. BTW, the colour on my car is actually Volvo VN colour ( a VN is a semi ).

for you guys with the strut bar, did you just get a 3rd gen and modify it? I'm seriously considering this as my maxima is now my only car... and I just need better handling after being used to driving RX-7's :-P

Mine is a 3rd gen bar modified. Strut bar isn't going to get you everything you need. You should update springs, struts, RSB, and bushing if you can. Once I get my crossbeam fixed, I'm going to start Auto-Xing my car since it's already set for it.

Big E-Dog...you need rims...bad. And what the hell is up with not running a filter? Are you asking for trouble?

Gunmetal or silver 5 spoke rims would look good. I'm not a big fan of black wheels unless it's a 4x4 or a bus.

As for the filter, it's probably smarter just to get a K&N panel filter in there. It's the fine stuff that'll hurt you...good way to totally ruin a motor with a lot of miles left on it. (It's awesome you only have 140k).
