You should get new struts/shocks if you are planning on getting eibachs. How about FSTB and RSB first?

hELP SUpport buying non stillen products.
Courtesy FSTB
Addco RSB
Nissan OEM bodykit

p.s. if you have money buy the stillen stuff cause they engrave their stillen logo and it looks cool

I agree with radpp16 and umd_maxse...go with the FSTB and RSB, then worry about getting the new springs and shocks. You will be plenty pleased with the degree of betterment of handling that those mods provide.

I agree with UMD. Bang-for-buck, the FSTB/RSB combo will make a MAJOR difference. I think everyone should make those two their first mods... It did a hellofalot for me.

Yup I agree too! I installed the RSB and FSTB at the same time and it is well worth the money!

This might sound like a stupid question but what exactly do the RSB and FSTB do and where is the cheapest place for me to get um? Sory so dumb but everyone has them and I want to know why! LOL

Have you checked out the faqs? RSB limits body roll and fstb braces the front strut towers (less body flex). There are several sources and it depends on which bars you want.

I believe that the Courtesy FSTB is cheapest and from what I have seen I believe most people go with the Stillen RSB.
