I've had my car since the summer of 2000.

Slowly, I've purchased handling mods, hoping to get rid of any body lean that is very apparent on a 4th Gen (mine at least).

I have a FSTB, Stillen RSB, 16'' Borbet Type Es with Potenza RE730 (225).

With all of this, I still feel body roll during turns on intersections, freeway ramps, etc. I was able to compare my ride to a friend's 97 Camry, since he let me drive it for a little while. The Camry has much less lean during moderate corning, while my Maxima, you still feel like you're falling into a turn.

Tomorrow, I'm getting the AGXs installed, all new suspension components (boots, spacers, bearings, rubber seats, etc) and urethane bushings for the control arms, front sway bar, and endlinks.

Hopefully, this will do it. I'm just assuming that a lot of the bushings and rubber parts on my stock suspension are worn out (91K on the car now), and maybe even the struts (though it passes DBM's bounce test). I expect to find a DRASTIC difference in handling...will anyone else back me up on this assumption?

 

get springs too...you should already have WAY less body lean that a Camry...I have to same suspension mods as you (FSTB and RSB) and I have WAY less lean than a stock camry...

 

The only things that will reduce the amount of roll are an RSB or new springs. New struts will reduce the rate of body roll.

 

You might want to give the subframe connectors a look. Of the people who have tried them, most say theres a big decrease in body roll, and car feels tighter. See Matt93SEs sticky on the 3rd gen forum. BTW mzmtg is correct do both struts/springs. If you can do them both at same time you will save money. Good luck.

I'm confused about this...I know I should have less...but I feel like I don't. I have more confidence in making a moderate speed turn in a Camry than in my Maxima.

 

Just wait until you get the AGX's installed. Then tell us how the body roll is. Set them at 2 up front and 4 in the rear. Thats a nice tight ride.
