H&R springs + FSTB strut bar ?????
Does anybody have just H&R springs + FSTB ( front strut bar ) installed. How much better would you rate the handling got from a 1-10. Please give me your suggestions.

It's a 9
Definitely worth it together. Since I installed the H&R first, it help with the look and especially tighten up suspension and then adding the FSTB just dialed in the front end when cornering. A noticable different if driving twisty or autocrossing.
I autocrossed before it on and after, much..much better with it.
My wife drives it to work now since I just bought a used S10 truck for work and she said, [classic] "I'm so use to our car and when I drove a co-worker's Honda around this turn the tires squealed and notice it doesn't handle as well as ours."
mmm...though to myself, she driving the Max faster around corners... I said to her , "Well honey, that's why I bought the mods for the Max because it makes the car safer to drive..." LMAO [to myself of course]

If it's too much of a hassle don't bother. 
I just wanted to see how flush the Kenwood units go in the Maxima dash. I remember when i had my x815 in my old car, the Kenwoods came with a rather large black trim that goes around it. On my Civic that looked okay, but the Max is significantly larger.

Soundmike, I don't have one, but I will get one for you. Is there a question about it I can answer for you?

Yep. I figured the trim would still be there, but to me it just seems Kenwoods are slightly smallish looking compared to other brands. Then again it might just be visual illusion.
How's the crutchfield kit btw? Would you say it's a perfect match?

Soundmike, in the 2k2 there is a black border around it, as well as a new compartment created below it. This is using the crutchfield install kit.

Depends how much cash you want to spend. JIC coilovers are gonna be a big investment.
