They all serve the same purpose, but you'll be paying more for a brand name. I don't have one, but I'll be getting an eBay one for about $30 shipped If you have money, so buy a Stillen FSTB or something...

i got the ebay BOMZ Racing FSTB. and am happy with it. I payed $30 shipped it reduced front body sway in my car at high speeds arouhnd corners. alot better control then before. This is same thing to expect from any FSTB out there for a maxima.

Just make sure that the bar you are getting will fit your maxima. Many here don't know (and yes it happened to me) that 99 SE-L's for instance need a special FSTB. Yes, there are FSTB specifically designed for the 99 cause it has this funny thing sticking out which blocks the pathway for the FSTB, which would otherwise go on fine like it does on the 97 and 98 models.

So, if you will buy one of the many FSTB on E-bay and you have SE-LIMITED, I guarantee that it will not fit even though it says that it's for a 97-99 Maxima. I got one and was forced to cut/saw the part that's sticking out and so were others here on the org. It was a pain in the *** to get rid of it, while at the same time preserving the professionally installed mod look.

Anyway, installation lasted some 2 hours.
