Hey guys, Ive been lurking around the org for a while now but I just registered today, so hi everyone
heres my question (and bear with me cause im sure its a dumb one lol)...i have a 97 gxe and im looking to put strut tower braces front and rear. ive only been able to find a rear brace for 99+ models. does anyone know where i can find one for a 97 OR if the 99+ will fit on mine? thanx guys

 

lurking? what are you stalking us or something... ya loser... jk

in general most 95-99 will work for 95-99 excluding exterior body panels, and ecus, and rear sections... and some other things...

so no, 99+ (if you mean anything above 99) won't work... you can find ones on ebay... or you know what?

maxmods.dyndns.org - maxima haven...

Theres a bunch of them. Or you could go the expensive route and get a Stillen, but the ebay ones do the same job.

 

I dont see why 99's are different.. 95-99 are the same. 00 was different when the 5th Gen was introduced. In any event, only stillen currently makes a rear strut bar. I have an old Courtesy bar that I found used on here.. but thats about it. The only other thing you can do is make a custom one. Some guy here did it with 2 different strut bars, one from a 240 and the other I dont know. It still came out wayyyyy cheaper than the $170 Stillen one.

Front one you can find on ebay cheap... they all work the same. Honestly I wouldnt worry about the rear one, I'd get a rear sway bar

 

yeah i kinda figured id get that sway bar response from someone. wuts the deal with prices on those? i havent really looked into them much. and how are they on the install, easy enough?

 

Sway bars are very easy to install as long as you have a rachet and a jack... price is about $130 for Progress and Addco and alot more for Stillen.. dont know how much.

Go with Progress or Addco.. you can get the Progress from Cattman

 

In order to get a Rear Strut Bar you need to buy a 95-99 Sentra/200sx Front and rear bars. You take the brackets from the rear and the bar from the front. It is about $40-45 shipped. For a maxima the front bar is better and back is not really needed. Some complain they couldn't feel a difference. You can never have too stiff of a chassis, so I figure what the hell. I will probably eventually get one but I would definitely stay away from paying $150 for a stillen.

 

Thats it!!!

 

I like my rear strut bar. It works good. Look into otto racing. That is who actually makes the stillen strut bars! Much cheaper for same exact product.

 

thanx for the input guys. can anyone give me a site where i can pick both of those bars up? that sounds like the way to go for now. ill probably end up doin a nice sway bar later wen i have the dough.

 

nevermind lol found em on ebay cheap. thanx again tho
