I have had my 2003 Maxima SE for 7 months now, which I purchased brand new. I absolutely love the car, it is a great bang for the buck! With almost 20,000 miles on the car now I feel I am ready for some upgrades. I do not want to spend a lot of money (under $500), but would like some suspension upgrades. I am not a mechanic by any means, and I am confused by all of the RSB and Front Bars available. What do you recommend me doing first, based on my budget? I would like the car to handle better at high speeds (60mph to 100mph). The reason I want this upgrade is because while I have no problem outrunning my friend's 2002 Lincoln LS V8 Sport, he can outperform me in the corners. Thanks!

 

Okay, here are the two most recommended (and what I did):

RSB (I used the Cattman which was something like $140 incl. shipping)
FSTB (my take is that this mod isn't strictly necessary, but after checking around a lot of high-end sports cars do have these...and they're supposed to perform best at high speeds) $50 incl. shipping

Not sure what else is possible with the $310 remaining - can't buy tires. How 'bout a bunch of good CDs?

 

there are stut tower bars for the rear too....dunno how much that would really help....
buh...
i think that...this is what u should do

fstb (45-200 shipped)
RSB (115-280)
SPRINGS...( 150~!!! for tiens...GD ...150 shipped~!!! sign up~)
(90-230)
gets rid of alot of body roll...same for the RSB
rstb....(280??)dunno if it really helps but yea...

if all that ins't good enough for you...
GO FOR SUBFRAME CONNECTERS>...(200~!! at warpspeedperformance.com)...THESE ARE GOOD~!!!!
friend got them on the camaro....whoa~
stiffens up the cars like crazy...

id personally buy the RSB springs and SFC's
thats about 500
