every maxima needs this, the handling of my max improved dramaticly




the rsb gave me some trouble while installing but it was worth it, if u don't have a rsb or fstb u need one quick

i got my rsb off of custommax and the fstb off ebay

 

good **** i have the fstb in. gonna get the rear soon. have u taken any high speed turns yet??

 

Ive bean waiting for the RST bar , I got the front one and i think it helped alot.

 

Good to hear! I have the FTSB, and I want the RSB. Can you describe how your ride improved? The one thing that's been bothering me about my max is that it's not very level during turns like my girlfriend's Contour (which I have to admit has awesome suspension). If this makes the handling better, then I definitely want it ASAP.

that is a definately a good combo ... good work

 

were did you get the rsb from? cause i dont see it on custom maxima and id like to get one.

 

RSB - Custom Maxima

Cattman has the same one at the same price.

 

o i thought you guys were talking about a rear strut bar ,

 

chigga:
i haven't taken high speed turns yet but i did take some turns that usually the max would feel like its floating but it didn't... it felt great


Lushka16:
it feels like a sports car, the ride is great, usually when u are changing in the max ur body rolls and now u stay strait

 

i just bought the same combo. RSB from custommaxima.com and FSTB from ebay, didn't get a chance to install this yet.

 

kevlo911, if u dont mind, how much did u get the FTSB for on ebay?

Unless anyone up in Toronto, Canada knows where to get one up here?

 

i looked on ebay for a fstb and i couldnt find anything. What exactly did you search for

 

do a search on "maxima front bar", i got the one from "drivingear", someone here recomended this guy...here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33591

 

RSB is now in the truck with the rest of the mods waiting to be installed

hopefully, ill get to it sometime this week...

 

To get more results on ebay for maxima fstb, do a search for "maxima bar". Also, I should get fstb from ebay soon ( I got the one for 13.99). Any specific instructions for installation? On shop talk, I can't open the page with fstb installation (link is dead or page does not exist). Can anyone help with installation of fstb? Thanks in advance.

 

is there any significant difference in the various strut bars found on ebay? also, i heard that it was a pain to install the FSTB and RSB if you have ABS...anyone hear anything? thanks all.

 

Check out this link (Link to Addco install and review...)for more info, but here is the gist of it:

"Other than 16" rims and new tires, this is my ONLY handling mod. I noticed very little change. Perhaps I need to do a FSTB as well, but I really did not see much difference. If anything, I noticed that the max seems to have a greater threshhold prior to developing understear, but all that that seems to do is make the "window" between understeer and oversteer all the more narrow. It feels like constant adjustment (or at least monitoring) is needed in a hard curve to maintain the proper steering balance. I really feel like the car has a more "razor's edge" handling feel now- sharper handling, but with a lower margin for error. Maybe it is all in my head, but at the edge of the handling envelope, it feels like a slight over-compensation or a fraction of a turn too far would put the car in a spin. I know that I would not spin right away, but it feels like once the tires broke loose, momentum would throw me all out of whack. Does anyone else get this feeling?"

 

i paid 12.50 + shipping on the fstb

i have read so many good reviews about the bar so had to get it and i don't get the "feeling" like he did
