Nice clean job, Rochester. Well done.

I can relate - I have thought the same, would be nice to have the proper AE body kit for it. Priced it out when I was with Nissan a few years ago and parts only added up to about $3,000 + paint. Only something a stupid or stupid rich person would drop over 3 large to do.

Thanks, MerlotMax. I appreciate that.

I think you know that I would have preferred a Racingline product over Stillen... but you go with the RSTB you can get, not the RSTB you wish you had.

Looking good John, looks like it grew there. This thread is making me want an RSTB again.

Yeah, Markus. You want this thing. My guess is, you'll appreciate this much more than the ES bushings in your rear control arm, and for far less expense in time, convenience and money.

The added little benefit: every time you open your trunk you'll see this mod and be reminded of this simple little tweak. It's a cool thing. Do it.

But don't you be bringing it to NY when you visit, and expecting me to climb in the trunk. No-o-o-o-o-o!

Like I said, no problem. I completely understand.

I am still looking for a good deal on a RSB. That and a cat back would pretty much do it for engine/suspension mods for me.

Never thought about that...

Soo...does that mean I'll be seeing some orders come through?

Hope that's a yes.

DJ, you're shameless.

It might be an order from me, based on whether or not this is a DIY that I could do even half as well as the specifications you're already figured out. It's one of those things that looks really easy for someone with the appropriate power tools. Sadly, I'm not one of those people... so we'll see.

Either way, my original board is warped almost to the point of uselessness.

Only if you put memory foam on them...

Then again, not sure how many of us are left who tinker with their rear suspension every few months...

Not sure if you're talking about the center-mount RSTB in this thread, or the tangent conversation about my spare tire covers.

But if it's the latter, I DO produce them!
