I ordered my RSB ($239) from Stillen today but was surprised to learn that they don't have a FSTB for the '02 model yet. I was told it would be a couple months until they had "tested" their '02 model.

The RSB was the only mod I expected to do, but I've heard enough people here waxing enthusiastic about the FSTB's that I thought I'd try one of those too.

I told the guy on the phone that there were some gripes here about the non-stainless bolts in the RSB kit by the way.

 

Yep. It's been talked about before. Right now only the Courtesy FSTB works on the 2k2 (cheaper too! @ $79 + s/h)

 

Strange, I installed my Stillen FSTB from my 2000 Maxima SE on my new 2002 Maxima SE and it installed perfectly. It doesn't touch anything and fits correctly.

What was the problem with Stillen FSTB install??

 

Actually I work at a shop and I get the Sport Compact magazine kinda early and about one or two weeks ago I was looking through the mag and I saw a brand new Front strut bar for the 2002 Max. It looks a little wierd but nice. It actually looks like 2 strut bars in one. It kinda looks like this /\.

 

The Stillen FSTB I installed on my 2002 Maxima, looks exactly like on your AE. I just looked on your site. It came from my 2000 Maxima.
I am not sure why Stillen is designing a new FSTB for 2002 Maxima, if this one fits.

btw, Very nice car!

 

Does anyone know if stillen send instructions with their Fstb?
If they don't is there any where on this forum that someone has instructions, preferably with pics.
oh its for a 2000 se

thanks
