Looking for a brand recommendation for both front strut bar and rear sway bar. Do they have to be installed at the same time? If not, which should be installed first?

 

The sway should be installed first IMO, since it makes a drastic difference in handling compared to the FSTB. Most of the sway bars do the same... http://maxmods.dyndns.org/?MaximaSwayBars this site has a lot of good information. For the strut bar..it's just a piece of metal so any brand would do. I recommend the ones off ebay.

 

Group deal going on for the rear sway bar: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=266048

you may want to try FSTB first. it's less than $30.

 

i would say put on the FSTB first, so you could see how much of an improvment you got from it. cause fstb doesnt do a whole lot and if you install a rear sway bar first then put on the fstb you wont feel a damn thing from the fstb. get a strut bar off ebay for $30, no need to spend big bucks on a ftsb

 

That is what I have heard also. I am getting fstb to put on so I can feel the difference...then I will probably get rear bar.

 

You wont feel much if any of a difference from the fstb. I didnt. The rsb made a HUGE differnce though.
