FSTB off of ebay??

does anyone have the FSTB off of ebay. they are from driving gear?
they are only $28($43 w/ shipping) will this improve anything on my suspension. or it just a cheap bar. i mean is this a rip off imitation of the couresty bar . will it compare to the cattman or stillen strutbars? if anyone has this let me know how it works for yall.

if i unbolt the 3 golden bolts on top of the struts will they fall off or will the springs decompress. are the any special instructions to putting the bar on my max

holla

check out my cardomain page in a couple of weeks. i am in the middle of completely changing my soundsystem out. getting the new FSTB, doing some more chroming in my engine bay and maybe doing some customizing in my trunk.

holla

keep looking on there I believe I have heard a few people say you could get one for like 13 or so.

but yes even the cheaper ones help out just as good as the Stillen.

if you unbolt the 3 bolts the suspension will not fall unless you jack the car up after you unbolt them.

no special instructions...just unbolt set bar on and adjust it then bolt it up.

And make sure you don't overtighten those top bolts. It's easy to snap those suckers.

yeah you can paint it...its just metal. Just sand and such like you would do everything else.

I dont think I can make the meet. I kinda have the car taken apart doing some stuff but I know when I am finished I will be heading to Birmingham to meet up with Craig B again to show him my finished product. We can have a 3rd gen mini meet then.

The last time they had a maxima meet there were 3 3rd gens. Me, Craig and another black VE 5spd.
