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?

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

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.
