Looking for some honest feedback as to whether or not a strut tower brace makes a difference on this car or not. Seems to be some sort of brace there already. I am lowered on eibachs riding on 20's and have a stillen rsb installed and I am very happy with the handing compared to stock. Point it in the direction u want to go and it goes I haven't pushed it too far yet and I do drive it like I stole it.
Will the strut tower brace honestly make a difference and if so would you recommend the stillen or racing line? The racing line is much cheaper and has more mounting points but I do love my stillen products so far (rsb, exhaust, intake, front splitter and rear diffuser).
Would appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Wont make much of a difference as there's an OEM one in place. If you do go with it, go with the Stillen FSTB, the Racingline bar was a pain to install. It was clear to me why Stillen opted to just go with mounting the bar only using two of the bolts instead of all three.

Kinda what I figured. I mean it handles pretty freakin good now it would mostly be for aesthetic purposes I guess. But it's a maxima not like people are asking to see under the hood so......
It would look cool tho. I was also thinking of painting some of the plastic under the hood white to match the car so maybe it's worth it just for aesthetics.

I knew that it was mainly for aesthetics....& if it would help tightened things up a bit, it would be a plus. I do get compliments when the car gets serviced . I actually picked up the bar for a nice price. I do like having the bar on there as it & the stillen intake add to the look of the engine bay. I think painting the trim pieces would look good.


Gotta clean the engine bay....

You might see a 1% increase. Most likely nothing.
Purely cosmetic on these cars.
