Tein SS Damper Kit

So i purchased this Kit from Stillen, and I am really happy with it but I still like I have a slight roll in the body of the car. Is far better than stock but stilll not exactly where I want it! I have 06 Maxima with the coilovers and a FSB with a RSB all stillen Products! I want to know what else I should do to improve handling on Highways when merging and switching lanes!


On another note, I was cruising against a 3.5 Altima 07 and when we are in the 100+ My steering wheel was very shaky, but not like a unbalance wheel shake but rather like a warped rotor shape.

Also I need new Rotors and Suggestions?

I'm gonna move this over to the 6th gen forum where you can get more advice specific to your car, and more people will see your questions. Good luck!

my suggestion to reduce body roll more are:
1. stiffer tires
2. poly bushings in all suspension parts.

There aren't too many poly bushings made for our car.

adding to the list though...

3. FSB (since you have the FSTB from stillen)
4. racingline end-links f/r (when available)
5. Energy suspension bushings for the end-links/RSB (will NOT work for FSB)
6. lighter wheels for quicker response and turn-in

oh and

I have a set of racing Hart 18" Wheels in my Garage waiting for some rubber, but if I change the bushings in the rear will it make that much of a difference. I wonder if anyone makes a front sway bar.

Also what pics do you want! Let me know and I will post them !

Yes the 24mm front sway bar from the 2005 Altima SE-R is an added upgrade.

Our stock front sway bar is 22mm.

Yes it fits perfectly. Check my thread on the topic. It may even be a sticky. And, yes, 2mm makes quite a difference. Google sway bar designs and you'll see.

I also have the SE-R FSB and it is definitely a good mod that stiffens up the front end.

You can get it here for $92.44 shipped with brackets and bushings

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214143

That's where I got mine. Use the stickies to get the part numbers



Oh, and post pics of the coil-overs/how it looks lowered

Any good cadmium plated, vented, cross-drilled, oversize rotor with HAWK high performance pads should do the trick...save yourself some money and just go with the ordinary rears but vented and plated with the same pads.
