Thanks a lot... Do you have RSB installed? How much better do you feel in terms of handling?

hmm... car feels planted to the ground. but thats mostly due to my lowered suspension. i can take turns a lot faster now that i have the rsb, but there is oversteer at times. that was the difference i noticed cos i installed the rsb after the rest of my suspension mods. if ur stock, you are going to notice quite a big difference in handling with the rsb. a very worthwhile mod imo.

i think RSB can give you most difference in handling with stock suspension. honestly, i couldn't quite feel the difference in cornering except for that little bit more flat turning feel.

RSB / RSTB

RSB or RSTB? Well i'll say this much, if you have the money to aquire the both i would do it. When i did my maxima i got the FSTB, RSTB and RSB all in one order from STILLEN, it was a bit expensive because i went with STILLEN products but im a believer in you get what you pay for. But if i had money for one mod it would be the RSB because of how you turn and corner at high speeds (50+ mph), it does stablize the car, but then again i have the full suspension done, including eibach springs with tokico gas struts, so i see and feel my car go with whatever turns come up. I had aimed to make my car safe in terms of high speed driving, cause the speed racer comes out in all of us id like to see a Lexus or BMW try to hang with me its just damn near impossible.

Four years ago I got Suspension Techniques springs and Tokico struts, which lowered my Maxima about 1.5". I had 16" x 7.5" O-Z Racing Monte Carlo wheels & Michelin Pilot XGT-Z4 225/50/16 tires installed, too. About 1 week later, I installed the Stillen FSTB, RSTB, & RSB. These mods made a HUGE improvement in the way that car handles. In fact, it handles WAY better than stock, if all those fish-tailing stockers in my rearview mirror are any indication...
