2001 Maxima SE Suspension Options (Sway Bars etc.)

Hi,

I have a friend with a 2K1 Maxima SE that he wants better handling from. I know a decent amount about what's available for VW suspension tuning, but I don't know a damned thing about what he should get for his Maxima.

He mentioned sway bars, but I think he would probably benefit from some type of suspension kit as well.

I would like to know

A) what are the top 3 or so sway bar makers and configs (28mm adjustable rear/25mm front, etc) for this car

and

B) who makes aftermarket suspension upgrades/kits/coilovers for Maximas that are on par with H&R, K&N, Bilstein, etc. (from the euro tuning world) What are the options for suspension upgrades?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Dave

Before you get flamed I strongly suggest you use the SEARCH function (upper right of the screen).

There are literally hundreds of posts on this.

Also check the Parts List at the top of the thread list in this forum.

Thanks for the tip(s). And nice car!

P.S. Sorry for the newbie topic. I should have known better and just performed a search. My bad.
