I just recived the Stillen FSTB, and read the instructions and it says that I need to install some spacer that they provide.

I coudn't really understand for what and where I need to install it.

NE1 has a good instructions on installing Stillen FSTB on 2000 SE?

Thanks.

The spacer lowers

a sensor that would otherwise interfer with the strut bar.
I just installed mine Monday and it' very easy, locate the bracket next to the drivers side strut bolts(use picture to locate). The spacer goes under the bracket to lower the small black cylinder that is next to the strut tower. Remove the bolt, put the spacer under the bracket and re-install the longer bolt and tighten...Done.

It might work better the take the brackets off the bar and then connect the bar to the brackets once they are attached to the strut towers. The passenger strut tower has a small connector in the way, disconnect the part in the way, install the bracket and click the connector back in. Torque all the strut bolts to about 35 ft/lbs.

I installed a Stillen FSTB on my 1995 Maxima SE. No spacer required, but I had to *slightly* bend the throttle cable bracket down and out of the way.

I just installed a Stillen FSTB on my 2000 Infiniti I30t. It came supplied with a spacer and a long bolt, which were required to create the clearance needed to complete the install. No other adjustments were necessary.
