The best FSTB is the one you can get the cheapest.

The generic ones on eBay work just fine. No need to spend hundreds unless you're looking for brand name and looks.

I got one for $12 (plus $12 shipping) from seller directcarparts_net.
They currently don't have anything for sale on Ebay, but it was a non branded FSTB.
The quality was good - polished aluminum, and the fit was perfect.

FSTB

I bought a Matrix FSTB for 25$ and it works great. There isn't much diff between the pricey bars and the generics, your not going to bending the FSTB under any conditions or even the hardest driving, so go with a generic. I think I got mine at www.streebeat.com

mine is a no brand as well and it works great- be carful and use a good torque wrench when you put it on-i found out the hard way. 30 ft-lbs. is plenty of torqueing enough...I think i have about $20-$30 in mine...

Maybe I'm just retarted, but I keep tying "BOMZ, BOMZ Maxima, Maxima, etc." and I can't find the BOMZ one for the Maxima. Any help? I feel so retarted.

Heh, no you are not retarted. I have also been searching for the bomz brand bar. The last time i saw it on ebay was 2 weeks ago. The person who was selling it then does not have any up for sale. I went ahead and found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2400604524
This one almost looks like the bomz brand so i decided to buy it now. Anyways i think they might be the same one just diff. or generic names. Anyways, $25 isn't bad

Phew, thanks. for a minute there I thought there was something wrong with me. I heard that one was good too, but I want to see the Bomz one before I decide which one I want to get. It's either that one or the Bomz one, so I can wait. Thanks for clearing it up.

I bought a Matrix off of E-Bay and I have had no problems. I think I spent about $35 w/ shipping.
