New Stage II Lower Tie Bar (LTB) $135 + shipping

I have a brand new, never installed Stage II Lower Tie Bar (LTB) made my matt93se (BlehmCo Suspension). I bought it when they first came out but never installed it. It's made of 3/4" heavy-wall steel tubing, weighs ~ 6 lbs. The one I have is painted black instead of being powdercoated so I'm selling it for a bit less.

Click to enlarge (actual pic):


The LTB is designed to tie the front suspension together to provide sharper steering response and better handling overall. The Stage II (as opposed to the cheaper, simpler Stage I) adds an additional frame mount behind the control arms to provide more strength and reduce chassis flex even more.

More info about what it is and what it does.
http://www.mattblehm.com/suspension.htm

More info about the install can be found here, it should clear aftermarket y-pipes:
d_warner's cardomain
vqpower

It sells new for $175 + shipping, I just want $135 + actual shipping (PM me your zip code) or pickup (zip 48114). If within 30 miles, I might be able to meet you halfway depending on circumstances.

I'll box it up and take it to the UPS store this Saturday to get shipping quotes, will reply back then

I also have some OEM suspension parts for sale, will photograph and post later this weekend but if you're interested, feel free to ask. OEM rear struts in good condition, also have SE coil spring/strut assembly complete with all mounts and brackets, perfect if you are looking to do a complete swap but you'll have to replace struts and any worn out rubber components.

SO, these will not clear Cattman headers setup? this was stated on the info link. I was thinking of getting the headers later on.
Still a little tempting......

I'm guessing it won't either, I bought them when they first came out and I'm pretty sure they didn't clear them then.

If you have Cattman headers, you're probably better off contacting matt directly to see if he has a newer design.

i doubt it since Matt has stopped making the bars and i dont think he got around to making the ones that would clear the equal length headers.

still for sale.

i've had three interested people PM me so far, in the following order:
1) h22enjen (zip 20904)
2) gen4maxima536 (zip by PM, not posted)
3) 96max_manSE (no zip code provided, location indicated as Rockville MD)

I'll head out to the post office tomorrow morning with the LTB packaged up and get shipping quotes, will PM each one of you with your shipping costs. If anyone else posts or sends me their zip code by PM, I'll get shipping quotes as well.

I believe it would be fair for it to give first dibs to those who contacted me first, so I'll give 2 days for the person on the top of the list to reply to me before I move on to the next on the list.

Wow, I didn't know Matt stopped making the bars. I've decided to stop modding my Maxima so my loss is your gain

When it comes time to sell my Maxima, I guess my DavidL's red/clears and wheels will be up for grabs

I'm doubtful. I believe the Cattman headers were the only thing it wouldn't clear.
