What are the differences between Stillen's and the StreetBeat Performance's tower braces, beside prices.

 

The stickers on the front of the bar. Get the cheapest one you can find...it all does the same thing.

 

i am worrying about quality of steel.

 

It was my first mod; an ebay strut bar for 15 bucks shipped and 3 years later its still holding up without ANY problems.

 

thanks for the tip

 

they all work the same but they all look different. depends on if you have the mone y to afford the nice looking ones like cattman.

 

Are they hard to install? Do I just have to take the nuts off and put the strut bar over the studs and tighten the nuts back on? Or am I missing something here? Thanks.

yeah, when they install them on horsepower tv and whatnot... they say torque it to 30 ft/lbs or whatever... uh? does that matter... can i just tighten the nuts like black maxima is asking?

 

As per Mrgone: Torque it 'til it breaks and back off a 1/4 turn. ...that cracks me up everytime I see his sig.

Seriously though, there are instructions on the maxima.org homepage (not the forums). It has torque specs and all. Happy modding!!!

 

you may have some trouble taking off the bolts yourself, but thats about it.

 

They are all about the same, but some have a slightly different look to them. I have a chrome OTTO FSTB that has 6 holes drilled in it, which I thought looked more aggressive, and justified the extra $10 I spent on it. I still think it makes the engine bay look much cleaner and more aggressive after over a year now.

 

Cool, Thanks guys. I just bought on on eBay!

I could of saved a couple bucks and waited until the auction ended without doing a "Buy It now". But, I'm impatient.

Anyone seen the CustomMaxima bar? It's $70 I beleive, but it's some sturdy shiet.

 

got a pic? i want a bar that is not adjustable, just a single piece.

 

The only reason the custommaxima one is 70 is because they come in color and it says custommaxima on it, not because its "sturdy shiet". It works that same as every other bar. The heavy duty one from paradox is non adjustable I think

 

While we're on the subject of front strut bars... which one do you guys think is the best, regardless of price?

Also, do they have any chrome ones? That'd look good.
