I know they make them for integra's and civics (what don't they make for those cars?)...would these have a great benifit? i was kind of wondering why stillen doesn't make them or someone else for that matter...anyone know? it is probably an obvious answer that i'm just not looking at...for civics and integras they make fstb, rstb, rsb, fsb...why don't they make one for our cars? if it is possible i'm sure i could prototype one w/ cattman this week

One question, do we have to take of the OEM rings(the black rings) before installing the FTSB on 5th gen maximas?

Thanks

the reason i think is cause we come with them from the factory... im not totally 100% sure but ive read that a few places... we got front sway bars from the factory...

The stock Maxima front sway bar is quite hefty already. If you put on a stiffer one you will get more understeer. To balance the handling of the car you need to move the roll stiffness toward the rear, hence the rear swaybar. Very few front wheel drive cars can really make good use of a stiffer front bar other than to have something else on your list of mods.
