These FSTB's Or Rear ones also for that matter, which it seems everyone is convinced are not a waste of time. Why, if it's so universally understood to be such a grand thing, isn't such a simple little bar built in with the car??

 

Because 99% of users/drivers would not know or care about them, nor would they ever reap the benefits of strut bars.

Most maxima users never push their vehicle's potential.

 

Cost. Most vehicles these days are designed to be as cheap as possible, they will remove any extra parts which are not absolutely required by the customer. The 4 gen max was designed to be as cheap as possible. For cars requiring extra performance, you do see them built in.

 

Cars like the 350z and 300zx have them because nissan knew that people were buying those cars to puch them hard and not poke around town in a maxima.

 

I understand the Infinity version of the Maxima comes with the front bar.

 

Maybe 9 out of 10 grocery moms don't want the suspension/ride to be or feel any more stiff than it is/does. They like that body roll, it makes them feel like they're in a luxurious lincoln.

 

very true, oh well, it allows you to buy the bar you want anyways, and when is custommaxima.com. going to come out with the 4th gen bars geeeeeeezzzz

Dammit, can't you see they're hard at work on the projector lights?

 

Oh boy...here we go again with the custommaxima.com replies.

my friends 3.2 TL has it stock...

FLO_BOY

 

I had an early 90's buick lesabre rental car and it had one, but it still drove like a boat.

 

screw the projectors

lets get the front bar

 

What's funny, is my buddys new tracker has a FSTB.

 

I have the infiniti version of the maxima (I30) and mine sure didnt come with one.

 

you got gipped!!!

ehehehe

 

I spoke to Greg earlier on the phone tonite, and he said they are being shipped from their supplier as we speak, so soon enuff you should have them...

and plz dont knock CM

 

Only the new I35 comes with them - the 4th Gen Maxima lookalike (I30, 1996-1999) doesn't have them.

Maybe the I30t does, but I'm 100% sure the stock I30 does not.

 

I think my dad's Outback wagon came with one.

 

Neither does the I30t. My sisters MP5 has a factory one.

 

cost

 

FSB is only like 15$ on ebay so thats not so bad. But when is custom maxima gona come out with the rear one, and the projectors.
