Finally! Installed Stillen RSB

Was able to get the time to install my Stillen RSB. Pretty straight forward install. Took me about a 6pack worth of time to install. Dealer and local shops wanted wanted bout 100-150 to install they said it took bout 1 1/2 of labor. Took me about 40-45 with a jack n 2 jack stands. Anyway I work tonight so I will report back after this trip down 95!

No was drinking and working... 6'3 228 6 beers is nothing to me.

But anyway the RSB turned out pretty damn good! The handling is much improved... Feels like the way it should have come from the factory! Now I need a solid FSB!

My apologies I definitely wasn't thinking of pictures as I was drinking and working. The removal was pretty easy as I have a impact gun 16 & 17mm sockets due to me already having the racingline endlinks... When I put my summer wheels back on I will snap some photos!

I would say no... I sure as hell had more confidence hitting on ramp at bout 65-70 with no issues. Care felt planted in the rear! As far as front I would say front feels off (too light even in sport) now and needs some TLC now! Hope this helps!

Nice --- I'm working on Ultra Racing to develop sways and bracing for this chassis, i'm sure it will make it handle even better

i think all the factory or oem sways and strut tower stiffeners are mild stiffeners, because it still has to be comfy for the average driver. an enthusiast may like it stiffer, which is why they left space for aftermarket strut braces, i guess. personally, i like to feel the road even more, even on an sr.

I wanted to share with the group that I had no luck receiving any replies from Racingline. I wanted to purchase their endlinks for my 2016 maxima. I was able to find a universal kit very similar to that of Racingline. I had to make sure the universal kit was applicable to the '016 Maxima by measuring the length of the OEM endlinks and the diameter of the studs. For the front endlinks, the measurement is 11.77" with a stud diameter of 12mm. For the rear endlinks, the length is 2.95" with a stud diameter of 10mm. I then went to Whiteline's website. These links are similar to those of Racingline. I cross check their endlinks sizes and was able to find a match. The part number for the fronts are KLC 180-295 Suggested Retail price of +/- $136. Part number for the rears is KLC-140-060, same price. I am going to order these along with Godspeed Mono Coilovers. I already have the Stiller RSB and just purchased the Curva C7 Silver wheels (19 x 8.5 with a 35mm offset for front and rear on 255/40/19 tires. Will later post pictures of the setup.

So did you get these installed? If so how are they I just installed rev9 coilovers and can't go as low as I want because of the end links. Thanks
