Just got a '02 , what mod's should I do first?
Just got my car on the 9/17/01. It is my first maxima and I am glad I bought it. Didn't realize how quick they were until I bought one. I was wondering what the most benefical performance mod would be for the car. Could also use where to get them as well.

Thanks

You best bet is to try contacting Stillen. Go to their site for a phone number... dial extension 169 for Hamilton.

The first things{in order} I plan to install on my "soon to be" 2K2 Maxima, is as follows,

Rear sway bar{RSB}
Front strut tower brace{FSTB}
Clear corners,
Intake
Y-Pipe
Stillen Body kit{when they make a new front lip}

After that who knows.. maybe a new supension, I am not sure yet.

2002 parts
Are the parts going to have to be different on the 2002's? Things like Y pipe etc because of the different engine? Are there parts already out?

I'm assuming most parts are interchangeable...

The first mod you should do is swap your engine. Give me your 3.5 and I give you my 3.0
