BlehmCo RSTB installed! (pics)

Easy install, the hardest part was removing the rear cushion.



No full test yet as it has been raining, but so far it does seem to make a difference!

yaaay another project!! yaaay!

hehehehe

Looks good Randy, I cant wait to hear what you think of yours. I had just recently installed eibach/tokicos in the rear so it is hard for me to really feel a difference since I'm still getting used to everything I think it's easier to pick up changes in the front than it is in the rear, but who knows, I'll probably take it off in a month and go for a drive and see if what kind of difference there is

Whats the next project Matt? Care to give us a hint. Oh yeah I'll be ordering a RSTB soon. Just had my water pump replaced since it went the other day. Man the other day I wanted to go to the car wash and as I approached the rails, bam my stage II lower tie bar was hitting had to back up and leave and wash it by hand in the freezing weather.

Looks good Randy.

Notice any difference with the tie bar DSTA?

Randy, those roads look dry to me in those pics, get out there and give us a review, I am in SoCal and I KNOW it isnt raining right now.

...the handling mods continue...

Actually, it's one of my current projects. I switched suppliers on some of my heim joints and I'm doing quality control check before I package and ship with my name on it... I really don't want to ship something with my name on it and people turn out pi$$ed about the quality or fittment.

Show him the money

I just wish it wasn't hidden, I think it looks cool, hehehe.

Has anyone else received comments from 4th and 5th gen guys saying how they wish theirs was like ours? I've received a few. Their RSTB (which they can get off ebay like a FSTB) goes straight across the trunk, and since they have an opening, it blocks that, which sucks IMHO.

The rear feels more planted. It's not a night and day difference, but I also have a few other suspension mods...



Me likeee

I left the little sleve on for maximum protection!

They also a big huge rear axle too. I hate the rear end of those things. The only thing i like about it is that it takes about 30 mins to change the springs and struts on the rear. 3rd gen independent rear is best rear setup the maxima has ever had.
