Racing Line. And it is worth it, the Max should have come with one from the factory. I got the black one.

Any of you got the RSB from kcmaxx ?

Did it improve handling as much as the FSB, or it's not really noticeable? What are your feelings about it?

I feel like my car is a big boat and I want to make it more rigid in curves. I feel like the car is bending and twisting in curves.

My advice, get the Progress rear sway bar and that will improve the handling a lot more then the RSB.

How big is the difference with progress rsb? Comments from people who have installed it?

So for general better handling, racingline FSTB and progress RSB?

Why dont they make a bigger FSB? Too much of a job to remove and reinstall it because of the subframe, or just because the FSB is large enough already?

From what I've read is that you have to drop the subframe to get it in- so yes, too involved for most to tackle. Deus had a write-up about it a few years ago.

Progress has the rear sway bar, not strut bar. I have it and it works like a charm along with Moog end links. The rear deck already acts as a strut bar since it conects left and right of teh car by the speaker deck so why spend money on a strut bar, not needed. Get the rear sway bar and you will like it.

It's not too hard to drop the sub frame but its time consuming. For the front you have the option of using Altima SEr sway bar or Nismo( more expensive).
