has any one gotten this b4 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Front...QQcmdZViewItem

b/c it looks similar to the courtesy FSTB

 

I got an ebay one. Not THAT one, but the one that is listed for my year. That there is 2000 and up. Just because it's for a newer maxima doesn;t mean anything but improper fitment.

 

You can get one of those that is 3rd gen specific for about the same price. Keep looking...

 

I got this one from ebay..It is very good quality bar,well built...$36 total...

 

Since you have a VG engine, you don't need to buy the 2000+ FSTB. You can buy the ebay one that says it's for a 3rd gen -- it is straight. The one you linked moves up to avoid the upper intake plenum on the DOHC VE engine (same thing for the 2000+ DOHC engine that it is actually designed for).

Something like this:

SOHC FSTB

 

ok thanks guys

 

I think I have the same one, very nice

 

so it fits well and actually works?

 

yea it should

 

I feel like buyin it right now, but is this one a good choice? I know theres another choice on ebay.

 

The ebay bars are all about =....

The worst problem with ebay bars are availability= you buying it, then they email you saying they are out of stock so you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the bar, or a refund...

It happened to me...

 

to tell you the truth, I don't think that bar this thick, with one bolt holding it on each side, would make much difference. May be for looks? You have to admit, though, this isn't the best looking one out there, neither. You might wanna save that $20 for gas.

 

it does make a difference, and it's a difference that you can actually feel in your handling. I myself have an ebay bar installed, and I can tell you this, I take 35mph rated corners at speeds up to 55 (out of habit), with very little body lean/roll. So for LESS than 20 bucks, I think it would be safe to say that it won't hurt much to give it a try.

 

I agree on the looks, my friend has a Stillen that costed him like $120
or more and its very nice but if this one does the job for less I might just get it for now, besides I dont plan on makin my car a show car. Disgruntled seems to be happy with his so I'm gonna go ahead and place the order...NOW

 

with a fstb installed the car just feels much more solid in a turn and seems to respond better
if your looking for a low cost bar that will perform well go with an ebay style (hollow)
if you want the best performing bar go with the stillen or otto(solid)
personally i think the otto is the same bar as the stillen just half the price

 

Well, I bought the bar after I posted the last message...wonder how much longer I have to wait for it...

 

My bar only took 5 days total from buying it, to it being on my doorstep....

 

I have that same fstb. Works good.

 

i have one for sale if anyone is interested 25 shipped

 

Damn you lol, you posted that too late, right after I bought the other one.
What kind is it? ebay?

 

Where'd you get your Otto bar?

 

procarparts.com about a year ago but i just looked and i dont think they sell it anymore

 

i found the otto bar at procarparts, question is, is the OTTO bar worth it?

 

Well, got a shipped-out confirmation from ebay and UPS and my strut brace shall be on my doorstep on Tuesday Nov. 1....thats the estimated time. usually its sooner and I know from experience, but if it doesnt I will be incredibly disappointed.

 

Kyle which one you got?

I've still got the one from my old max(one of the first things off the car)
but a better looking one may be the ticket

 

the one i have dosnt fit the ve it was on my old gxe
its the old school ebay version
