Hey guys,

Does anyone have this brace on a 2k2 6 speed HSLD.

I just spoke with them and they said there is not one for the car equipped with HSLD.

thanks

They said WHAT?????!!!! Now why in the world would a limited slip differential inside the tranny case have anything to do with a piece of aluminum that strings between the base of the front shock towers??

Ay, Dios mio!!

Well, look what they said about their headers so....nothing from them surprises me anymore....

So the one on their site is the right one? It states that it is for an 03 without LSD.

It fits...trust us Maxima oldies.......

U might have a weeeeeee bit of interference between the plenum on the intake manifold and the bar....this will manifest itself with a slight vibration/noise when the car is accelerated a bit in reverse as the engine rocks slightly on its engine mounts but other than that -solved with a bit of grinding and/or a couple washers under the strut bar mounting flange- it will fit fine.

It's a lovely piece...I have one and it's a looker. And when u call them to place the order, please tell them that their attempt at establishing a relationship between the bar and the differential had several of us in stitches....

thanks alot guys. I though it would fit.

Those guys are funny over there at stillen. I call to ask this question and they wanted to sell me everything possible for the Max. Then they wanted to know if I was buying from a reseller & who.

I think I will order one, thanks.
