5th Gen RSTB???
5th Gen RSTB???
After searching around and coming up with nothing but a DIY (4th Gen), I'm guessing they don't make RSTB's for our cars. Decided to go with a Megan FSTB and I'm considering the Progress RSB (only $200 from Andy's).
My ride into work everyday is a 1/2 hour on backroads with a lot of long winding turns. Just looking to minimize some of that body roll since I'm now lowered about 2". Worried that when I put my new wheels on (18x8.5) they are going to rub on those sharp turns.

Stillen makes one but its expensive.

If you're choosing between the two, I would recommend going with the Progress RSB instead of the RSTB. FSTB and RSB together will make a big difference in handling, and improvements from the RSTB are minimal according to what I've read around here. I would recommend you only get the RSTB if you have extra cash to spend after the FSTB and RSB.

. Now only if I could sell these darn GLE wheels to get the cash... You wanna trade? lol
Save the money you might spend on the RSTB and spend it on a 6th gen BBK, or as that extra bit when you're due for tires so you can get nicer tires.
The RSTB really is a waste of money, there's a few dozen places where you should spend first before even thinking about it.
The Rsb had a superb reputation as the biggest change in ride you can purchase for the money

The Maxima has a steel brace right above that area, Soo adding another brace doesn't have much impact like it would on a hatchback, etc. the hatch back has no brace until the roof Soo a RSTB in that case would be a huge change.
I'm not saying it will do nothing, I'm just saying its not worth the money it costs for the barely notable difference. Spend money elsewhere first. My opinion.
Besides if you want A car that feels stable and performs well on the street You're in the wrong car to start with lol

Ok mr. Q. He has a maxima not an infinity, so leave your op ed out of it. He asked a specific question, and it is answered, since u dont like the handling characteristic s of the max why not stick to your infinity fourms? With the rear say bar have somegood fun cause you will see a noticeable difference.

depending on how you answer that, hopefully yes, than you still will have some body roll but nothing close to what it would have been at stock height & struts just saying.
Yes those mods will help and I still recommend you get them based on your concerns.
lets get to the root of the problem.... how are you lowered 2 inches and are still worried about body roll? did you not upgrade to sportier(stiffer) struts?

Thanks for all the info, and please be respectful to others views on the topic please. Everyone has an opinion.
Keep in mind, my goal is to just reduce the body roll in turns so my new wheels and tires don't rub. Sounds like the FSTB with the RSB is the way to go. Makes sense about the RSTB not doing much. I was met by a wall of steel plates that made it unnecessarily difficult to get to the rear struts.
What are the tire sizes?
What are the wheel specs?
The best way to stop rubbing is stiff springs, or proper fitting on the wheel and tire. But unless you are running big tires and crazy offsets I can't see you rubbing only 2"low.
There is a tab on the back fenders that needs to be cut/bent out of the way when lowering with big tires or semi aggressive specs.
Are you tracking the car or any really aggressive on road cornering?

Chill out, padre. Read before your panties get wrapped up lol
