And what do I have to say about it?

WOW!

WOW!

Unbelievable on the handling! Matched with the Stillen FSTB of course.

I can't say enough about it. I even went as far as driving around a traffic circle 3 times to feel its true nature. hehehe weeeeee For those who don't have it installed yet...Well don't take my word. EVerybody who loves it from this forum already says enough about how well the car handles with it installed..

Happy Driving.

Did you install it yourself ? If not, how much did it cost you to get installed ? I'm not sure if I should install mine myself or have a mechanic do it. What do you recommend, I live in Orange County California.

The install is pretty easy. You will need a jack and jack stands though. If you have the car jacked up and the rear wheels off, the install is really easy after that.

I guess I need one of those flat jacks that I can slide under the car to be able to lift it from both sides at the same time ? Is that right ? What other tools do I need ?
My RSB is still on back order, that's why I'm asking all these questions.

You can use a floor jack and jack it up underneath the rear beam at the center. Or, you can use the scissors jack that came with the car and jack it up on side at a time while placing jack stands underneath. As for other tools, a ratchet, sockets, and hex wrenches are all that is necessary for the Stillen RSB. I don't know what else is needed for the Addco RSB.

It's an easy install.
I put my car on ramps and did the install without taking off the tires.

If you have any probs, let me know,
I'm in orange county too.

Stillen Suspension

When i say stillen suspension the term "its on" comes to mind, as i now have a full stillen suspension on my 00' Maxima. Front/Rear Strut Tower Braces along with Rear Sway Bar that matches the Front that already comes with the car in conjuction with Eibach Lowering Springs 1.5 drop in the front and 1.3 in the rear. Had to test the suspension for those who live in queens i took a drive on the Southern State Parkway heading into LI where i came across an IS 300,well i had to see what i can do...winked the guy i think he knew i wanted it, press the gas and it was on..theres a sharp turn around exit 13N that a stock car cant take and apparently neither could the IS 300.

Future plans are as followed:

Stillen Super Touring Chin Spoiler w/ rest of Stillen Body Kit.

Mercedes CLK Turn Signal Mirrors.

Why cause im pretty!!!!!!!

i got that one too, woooohoooo. can't wait, after hearing all this good stuff.

i think the only bad side affect from this suspension stuff is that by taking corners so hard your tires wear out faster, but i could care less.
