Hi Everyone

In a relentless effort to provide other mods and parts for the 09-11 maxima CXJ Performance has been able to finally release its rear brace that will tie in the rear supension. This brace will be installed in the trunk location just behind the rear seats. The brace has been designed to reduce body roll and will compliment any spring and strut combo. The brace will include all the hardware needed and comes in your choice of the brace wrapped in BLACK , BLUE , RED , SILVER carbon fiber vinyl.

Below are pictures of it installed in bare painted black.

This brace will only fit the maxima models that have rear folding seats as an option

This thread has been created to showcase the brace and answer questions. A purchasing thread with payment options will be located in the sponsor classified section on the site

Thanks

THIS IS A MUST HAVE PRODUCT FOR THE GUYS WHO LIKE TO TAKE SHARP TURNS...THIS DEF HOLDS THE REAR OF THE CAR A LOT STIFFER

i noticed the effects of this mod WITH COILOVERS AND REAR SWAY BAR INSTALLED.


good luck with the sales Cory def do awesome work with the mods you are producing

 

sick, now the non-sport models can have the same rear brace the sport models get with the non-fold-down seats! if its anything like his other products this will not only be well made but a great investment

 

Big props again to Cory for continuing to expand the aftermarket mods for the A35

 

group buy the prem tech guys?

 

If my seats folded Down I would deff get this but since I got the premium tech package it doesn't. But from previous products it will deff b worth it uses high quality materials not knock offs deff. Recommended props to u Cory

 

yay another mod for my lil S model lol. Thumbs up for another great product Cory!

 

I would be getting this as well if I didnt have the premium package. Great job Cory, great seller as well.

 

Thanks everyone. Its been a hard year but i will always continue to make more products available for the 7th gen maximas. I have a few more products in the works

Thanks

Cory

 

Are the pricing and everything up for this yet??

 

Sorry for the late response. I just flew in from being on vacation during the holidays.

The brace will be listed for $94.99

I havent posted a for sale thread just yet because i want to add more design appeal for the brace.color options and a little something extra.
More cost on my end but none to customers.

Ill keep this thread updated with the changes

Thanks

Cory

 

Just placed my order for one, should be a nice upgrade with my FSTB, the Eibachs thats on the way and now this rear brace!

 

Are the holes already there for mounting the bar or do they have to be drilled?

 

I dont see him selling a product where we would have to measure the holes and drill them but im sure he will chime in and tell all the details of the install. When I recieve mine, I am going to try to do a write-up of the installation.

 

I'm talking about behind the seat, not on the actual brace. I would hope the bar comes with holes

 

Ooooo ok lol. I gotcha. I'm sure he will Answer it in a few.

 

If I remember correctly, the bar bolts to factory stuff, no modification to the car required.

 

Any news on a brace for cars that don't have folding rear seats?

 

I havent confirmed if the rear brace will fit the version that dont have rear folding seats as i have yet been able to find a tester for this.


The brace will mount to pre drilled factory holes that are already in place. These holes are hidden by carpet tabs that have to be removed. No carpet cutting or drilling will be required. I would never sell a product that a customer would have to do so.

I also have revised the rear brace. Its has been given a make over for looks which i think makes it a much sexier piece now

The bar has been wrapped in black carbon fiber 3d vinyl. I should have gone this way from the start. I am also thinking of adding color options of silver , red , blue , and default black. As these will become special request i ask that you allow a few more days for delivery on the brace. I will always keep in constant contact with my customers so rest assure that your in good hands while doing business with me

heres a update picture. i will release additional install pictures in this thread very soon





In Blue

 

Very nice quality. I will be purchasing one very soon.

 

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

thats bangin, wish my car needed this part lol

 

Thanks

 

Got bored yesterday and made one. Thanks for the idea and I will not make more. So don't ask lol

 

Once you take that push pin out, is the whole straight through?

 

Yes, but you gotta manage to get your hand with the nut behind the molded carpet and it can be a real PIA. I don't really see how much of a purpose this actually serves because where it mounts to is very thing metal.

 

I have to agree this mod alone I highly doubt will give any improvement at all for cornering .
I'm sure rear sway bar, suspension, and stiffer trailing arms etc would only improve handling.

 

Picture of the brace in blue carbon has been added. Also comes in Silver , Black and Red.

 

arrived at my doorstep 20mins ago and it's now on the car!

 

mine is on and if it makes a difference, idk because I installed my Eibachs and FSTB and the Rear Brace all at the same time.

 

You would only notice a difference in conjuction with the use of the front strut tower brace and a rear sway bar in place.

 

i got to get one of those

 

I have sport model and will test it.

 

Bump, anyone know how well this did/didn't work? Did it ever go anywhere?

 

It doesn't work. It was a good idea, but it doesn't serve any purpose.

 

it does work, you may not feel it, but it does work...its like saying anytime you add larger wheels, and lower profile tires, your handling wont improve. It does because you have less sidewall flex, same goes for this bar. by adding additional cross member(rear upper bar) you will have LESS body flex..which you may feel or not depending on if you have, all the other required pieces(FSTB, rear sway, Eibachs) and drive aggressive enough to tell the difference... i had one on my 08 and i could tell immediately...take a regular street corner doing close to 35 mph...and let me know it doesnt work..lol, i do it now without it...i have been looking for one..anyone care to part with theirs so i can complete the necessary part of my suspension upgrade...
PM me..

 

Yes, if you have (FSTB, rear sway, Eibachs) that will help with body roll. This bar does not make a difference.

If this connected from one rear strut tower to the other, yes it would help with body roll. Where this bar attaches to is about 1/16th" sheet metal. I don't care how aggressive you drive, you can't tell the difference with this.

Tell me, when you were younger and you got new sneakers, did you think you could run faster?

 

being able to tell the difference and making a difference is two different things...
i understand what you saying..however the last 3 bars i had were not attached directly to my struts...and i could tell the difference..
if your old sneakers had no soles and grip, then did new sneakers help improve your ability with grip and traction.....perhaps..perhaps not...but i am telling you from my experience with the bar on and 08 in a similar setup and spot, it did...so until i receive one..and can test it on my 7th gen running same setup as i did on my 08...which i am..it does...
tell me...do you currently still have the one you made?, i would still like to get my hands on on Cory made and test them both...i know the quality of Cory work... if you do and you feel that way about it not working, sell it to me for cheap.....since it doesn't make a difference to you............................ awaiting your PM on your price....

 

I will sell it to you for $15 shipped if I pull it off my car this weekend.

I could make a few more and sell them at a fraction of the price as his, but I'm not gonna steal someones idea to make a few bucks.

I am however in the process of making a front strut bar.

 

No offense but if you want to be on the topic of useless mods the front strut bar is worthless. Trace the strut tower with your hand to the back of the engine bay and you'll find that the strut towers are already braced with metal about a half foot behind where the strut bar mounts. I took off my RL strut bar over a year ago and it's sat in the garage cause I never noticed the difference.

Can't speak on this rear brace mod; I have the sport model with no fold-down seats.
