Rear Sway Bar For City Driving?

If I installed a Rear (Anti)Sway Bar would I notice any difference in daily driving? I don't race or autocross but I sure do hate body roll. I thought my old '92 MX-6 rolled a lot, but this is way more than that.
Any input appreciated.

Most likely you will. The steering also becomes more responsive when you install a RSB, and everyone knows how horrible the steering response is on a stock maxima.

You'll notice it a little bit in city driving, but a lot more on highway driving if you're switching lanes, going around turns or on/off ramps.

I just want to be able to tackle a few curves in my neighborhood doing more than 15 mph. If I'm going more that 15 I have a feeling my side mirrors will scrape the road.
I hope RSB is worth the investment.
Thanks.

Anyone have any instruction on how to install the RSB on the maxima?
Is it hard to install the RSB? I'm drive in the city 80% of the time.
Anyone know a good RSB and at a great price? Thanks

Well, you have three choices when it comes to RSBs.
1. Addco $120 The old standby
2. Progress $130 New one on the scene. Stronger saddle brackets. Can be a little bit of a pain to install if you have ABS. (See my homepage)
3. Stillen $200+ Has adjustable brackets.

I live in the city. I have installed FTSB and RSB at 2 different times. If you only drive in the city, I suggest you not to waste your money on these sway bars especially, when you are driving about 15mph. In the city, you will feel very very little to nothing but on the highway you will definitely feel it. It does not feel like the difference of day and night on the highway. Overall I like this mod. It obviously offers a better handling on the highway. I need it because I travel on curvy highways.

Why don’t you try out FTSB first? It costs about $30.00 including shipping on eBay. RSB on the other hand, it costs over a bill.


For RSB instruction is here on maxima.org.

To purchase RSB
ADDCO has thin wire like brackets – not as good compare to progress
PROGRESS has strong saddle brackets – buy this for quality and price and i have this.
Stillen is simply stealing – It’s adjustable. People don’t frequently get under the car to adjust the bar especially during the snowy winters.


All RSB have the same function.
