Based on prior posts, it sounds like a rear sway bar would help more.. for starters, if I only get one or the other, which one?

If what you're after is reduced body roll, go for the rear sway bar first. Then get the front strut tower brace.

whats body roll?....

i dont race or anything, but the courtesy FSTB seemed like a good deal, but for regular driving conditions, would i notice a change in how my max handles with a FSTB, or RSB? and what body roll? does it have anything to do with taking turns at high speeds?

thanks a lot...

max2kgle526, it looks like i dont have anything to lose if i got the courtesy FSTB, but do you know if its easy to install the RSB, thats the one that goes under the car right? cause that one isn't that expensive either, but i would like to know if its a do-it-yourself thing, and how long it takes to do?

FSTB install is definately easier than the RSB install. FSTB doesn't require you to jack your car at all. RSB does offer more tangible results though.
