Total waste of money. Get a rear sway bar instead. The rear strut bars do nothing and require you to cut the trunk liner.

Do a search and you'll find many people recommend the RSB over the RSTB. www.cattman.com has a RSB for $110 that you should check out.

I agree, go with the RSB instead of the RSTB unless you have money to throw at your car and plan on having every single possible suspension mod just because it's available.

I agree as well. I think that product that you want to purchse off ebay is just a waste. It's not even a real TRUST rstb nor do they make an rstb for maximas anyway. I say go with the following:

-shock/spring combo
-fstb
-rsb

and you'll be aiight.

RSTB's are made for the Max! They're just useless.

To buy an RSTB for the Max:

If you get an Addco bar, you might have some trouble.

I meant that TRUST doesn't make one*sorry* I know that certain companies do make rstb's for 00-03 maximas.

RSB's
-Stillen
-Progress
-Addco

Both work the exact same. The Stillen MAY be a tad easier to install. I have no experience with cars except with oil changes and spark plug changes. I was able to do this and it was my first mod. Only thing you need to do is make sure you put the addco bushings that attach to the rear axle 4.5 to 5 inches in towards the middle from the bend. Don't ask questions now because you'll understand what I mean when your doing the install. It won't take more than 30 to 45 minutes.

Neither is really "better" and they're both easy to install assuming you have jack stands. If you don't have those, you can still do the install but it's a tad more annoying cause you can't remove the tires and you have less clearance.

As for which one is the best. I don't know. I personally have the Progress RSB*not installed* So I can give you feedback on it. As far as installation goes. I think they all install in some sort of similar manner.

It's all bolt-on. Don't worry.
