Best Strut Bar

Do any of you guys have front strut bars? What brands do you have and how good are they? I'm thinking of getting a Stillen strut bar, but man it's $200!

The sales rep at Stillen said "it's solid aluminum and it don't flex. The other bars out there are like beauty bars, they're just for looks. They're hollow and they flex." Is this guys a goosd sales man or should I buy in. I gotta make sure that they're worth it.. hit me up yall.

Find StealthMax. He gave me one for like 40 bucks or so, and it does the job. Forget Stillen, it's only expensive because it says "Stillen" on the strut. You can go to www.courtesyparts.com and get one there for around 60-70 I believe. Hope this helps.

StealthMax. (Maxima.org poster) Pretty darn good for the price.

You only live once.

I'll bet he'd say, "It'll add 4HP!" if he thought he'd get away with it.

I've got a 1992 SE, so I put the 00'-02' Courtsey Bar on. It fit perfectly, and I should have done it sooner.

Its a Courtsey bar, but I got it new off ebay for like $44 shipped.

Re: custommaxima.com strut bar

I would probably not worry about buying a custommaxima one. Go To ebay and pick one up for like 35$. $68 is alot for the custom one.
