The front and rear strut bars do help a little, but they are the least dramatic suspension mods you can make compared to things like the rear sway bar, stiffer springs, stiffer dampers, subframe connectors, etc.

I've already got a front strut bar, and I'm getting a rear one soon. I'm doing both because like I said, they do help a little. Just don't be expecting a HUGE difference and you won't be disappointed. The strut bars will tie the ends of your Maxima together a little better, but you won't be cornering like a Corvette Z06.

Yeah...like spiro said...I have both on and you will feel a difference in handeling but not as much as a sway bar. Every bar helps though so more power to ya

i have a fstb, rstb and a rsb. i love the way my car holds itself in the corners, she does not fight and it feels very responsive. i bought mine from ebay for like 15 bux, cant really complain bout it.
