When you added a stillen FSTB or a RSTB? Because it seems to me that a set of sway bars would do you much better. The maxima according to me has its share of body roll and the sway bars would solve this problem, right. But a lot of you guys have the FSTB, it is my belief that the FSTB only stiffens the chasis of the car and it does not aid in body roll!? Someone please enlighten me?

A set of sway bars would do more. But swaybars and strut tower braces do a slightly different function. It's like saying springs and shocks do the same. Braces do just that, brace. It makes the chassis stiffer. When you corner the car, the chassis flexes less, causing less suspension geometry changes. Thus the car is easier to control. Swaybars reduce body roll/

Yes, I would have to agree with Jeff92se. A FSTB will help reduce body roll, but definitely not eliminate it.
