Let's talk stabilizer bars !

You know, I now understand why people get so stressed out when buying a car. Too much mis-information. SO tell me, does a 2000 GXE have front AND rear stabilizer/sway bars OR just FRONT ? I ask because depending on WHICH website you go to they DO or DON'T have a rear bar. This is NUTS !

YES http://www.du.edu/~tpost/Final/glance.htm
YES http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdrives/00maxima.htm
NO http://www.geocities.com/jgadlage/2000max.html
NO http://www.seas.ucla.edu/~cheston/maxspecs.html

In addition, can someone explain to me what a front stabilizer bar is supposed to look like ? I will admit my general background is classic American iron, but I "normally" expect a front stabilizer bar (aka a sway bar) to go from one A frame to the other, under the engine. My Maxima has two short bars that go from the A frame to the chassis frame. Are these "the stabilizer bar" ? If so I know why a FSTB is SO important. And there is definately nothing in the rear, so an RSB is a must.

I have to put a e-mail notification on this one....

The main reason I don't want the increase hp in my car is because I wanted my car to handle consistantly with the increased hp. But like he said,
Too much mis-information
and....
