RSB, now too loose in the fromt

I bought the RSB and put it in... good no major problems..... but...it feels too loose in the front. I have the Custom Maxima FSTB anything else I have to do to make it less loose in the front without having to lower it... I like the height of my car.....

Well.. after replacing my OE Turanzas (just as bad as Potenzas) with 225 wide Pilots, the steering feels noticeably tighter.. I like it. Always thought it was too loose before.

But if you're talking suspension, I would guess a front sway bar underneath might make a difference, or firmer springs/struts.

Guess you could add few lbs air to the fronts and remove a few from the rear. Little more front toe-in would help it track straighter too.

Yes, the LTB will tighten up the front end. I have the stage 2, but the stage 1 should be enough for what you're looking for. The stage 2 is best when combined with RSB, SFC's, springs, and strut upgrades all together. I just need the SFC's and I'll be done with my suspension....

Your only choice is a OEM 02/03 FSB. From what I've heard, it is a larger diameter than our 00/01 FSB.

So, you have the LTB stage #1 & 2. What benefits have you noticed? Is steering more precise? Is the stage #1 & 2 enough for a strong, solid feeling front end? Details please!!! Thanks.
