any of you guys that have aftermarket strut tower bars...how did you do your sub boxes/amp racks in regards to the bar?

im asking because it would be nice to put the sub(s) against the rear seat, but that means the bar would probably be right in the way of the box. any ideas how to get around this problem? its very important cuz i might even be cutting out the rear deck, which makes the bar even more important...

thanx,
eric

 

when you make the box.. make it so that the strut goes through it.. just cut an indention in the box.. but the rear strut brace is pretty much worthless anyway.. in my opinion.

 

oh yeah?!

thanx.

coming from a 98 prelude that had every bar imaginable on it,
I am curios to why everyone says a rear strut bar is pointless
on the maxima.I had one on my prelude an it was front wheel drive?!

 

Taken from the Maxima.org MaxFAQs:

What does the rear strut tower brace (RSTB) do?

The rear strut tower brace stiffens up the tops of the strut towers. It doesn't effect the rear as much as the front. The back of the car is pretty solid, unlike the open space in the engine bay.

 

what are MaxFAQs?

 

Preludes don't have REAR BEAMS

 

really?

 

In my opinion the rstb does have an effect, and I will get mine as soon as I find a good deal on them.

 

your opinion doesn't mean **** .. coming from an ex RSTB owner..

i sold mine.. what difference did it make? NONE... absolutely none..

you want to waste your money? at least waste it on a UDP .. at least the butt dyno will be satisfied

 

If you notice my sig, I already have a UDP on order, thanks for the advice.

 

I hope you are not married.. because your wife needs to know about the useless **** you keep buying for your car

 

Out of all my mods which one would you describe useless. Maybe you talking **** is useless

 

the UDP and the RSTB

 

I don't have the RSTB, but I will take your word on it, and won't get it. As for the UDP, I want my engine to rev quicker and I got it cheap so I don't feel bad about it.

 

thanks for listening to me.. not many people do that around here anymore

 

who doesnt listen? i listen, cuz you complimented my car .. heh, you have a bad rap.. people know this

 

No kidding, if we would all just listen to you more often...the world would be a much better plce
