Definitely

Just get the FSTB....you won't believe how it tightens up the handling of a Maxima. It's the first mod every Maxima owner should get (plus the RSB).

Yes, as Eric said. Combine that with the RSB and it improves your handling quite a bit.

Performance on both is ~same.

Courtesy is OEM looking.
Stillen is Aftermarket looking, and more $$$.

You make the call.

i felt nothing.

courtesy fstb on my 2kmax.

i already had eibachs and rear sway, maybe that's why i couldn't feel anything. if i were u, get the rsb, you'll definitley feel the difference on freeway turns.

if you dont wanna spend a lotta cash on it, just get the one from http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com. if you have a 4th gen, itll bolt right on. if u have a 5th gen, it requires the same mod as a courtesey would.

FYI...
I (and alot of others on the yahoo max club) have been waiting since mid July for them to send me mine. There customer service is lacking...every time i've called they say it's been shipped....still waiting.

yea, they are back ordered all the time. took em a month to send mine. i called them once in a while and asked when the next shipment would come in. i would call back on that day to see if my bars were sent. had to do that about three times.
