For those maxima fanatic with rear sway bars! Have anyone of you guys lately taken a look at the RSB ever since u put it on? Are your bolts starting to rust? Well, I'm from the west coast in the bay area, and the weather here is cold and wet. So the bolts on the clamps are turning rusty brown color. So I am wondering if anyone else's RSB's bolts are starting to rust? Is there a way to prevent it or something?

I'm in So Cal, it's been about 2 months since I installed it. The bolts seem fine......no rust so far...But then again the weather down here has been scorching in the past few months.

Question?

Does anyone besides Stillen make a RSB for the y2k Max. I e-mailed Addco, and the appropriate staffer is currently on vacation.

Thanks in advance...

Picture from rear

I haven't gotten back my install pictures, but I did snap this one digital picture from the rear of my car today.

Re: Question?

Addco makes one for our cars. I bought it from cattman's
they have it in stock and it's ready to ship. Be aware its made for the 4th generation so when you install it don't
set the u-clamps all the way out, otherwiseit will rub.

The one in the trunk is the rear strut tower brace. The rear sway bar is underneath your car.

Retail prices for the Stillen FSTB and RSTB are 164 and 179, respectively. If those are real Stillen products then go for it.
