How come Maxima doesn't come with any type of strut bars? Does it have a sway bar? I want to buy sway bar and perhaps stiffer sway bars for the 2000 max from Stillen. Anyone know if Stillen will possibly sell them online?

Try Avalon Racing......they sell all the Stillen parts and at reduced prices. They make one bad *ss Maxima SE AE also...look to maxima.org and links for Avalon.

I think they do have some type of factory sway bar in the front. There was a post about this recently. You must have to really look 'cause I never saw one. I don't think anybody makes an aftermarket front sway bar.

Stillen doesn't sell anything online, to my knowledge: catalog, phone call, or dealer purchase.

The Maxima, like most cars, has a stock front sway bar - a pretty hefty one in fact. The reason nobody markets a replacement or add-on is that it would hurt handling - not help. Most cars are set up for heavy understeer from the factory, the Max is no exception. A heavier rear swaybar helps cut down on this, a heavier front swaybar would make it worse.
