Santa (the UPS guy) came around 6pm today - I didn't even know they delivered that late. Anyway, I unpacked the bar and put it on the car in about 10 minutes, install is a no-brainer. I wasn't expecting much as I pulled out of the driveway, and it felt slightly better on long, sweeping curves. I was just telling myself "Well at least it looks cool" when I got to the left turn lane at a light. The car absolutely stuck through the turn where it would have been very hesitant before. The body still rolls, but it goes right where you point it, none of those scary motions anymore. I took it through some tighter curves and more of the same. The body rolled on the stock springs, but the car followed the curve exactly. FYI, my FSTB was from Street Beat, cost $35 and was delivered a week and a half after placing the order. Bottom line - everyone who owns a Maxima, any trim level, almost any year, should have one of these.

Yeah, I'm ordering the RSB once I get settled into my new place in January. I had no idea how much of a difference these seemingly little things could make. Man.. I can see how one thing leads to another. The FSTB makes me notice the body roll more, the RSB will probably make the springs look bad, those will need new shocks, and you need nice wheels to go with lowered springs... and I'm gonna need a new job

WTF
WTF, you got your FSTB a week 1/2 after placing the order from StreetBeat. I ended up buying the FSTB from a local shop that I thought would be faster and I've been waiting for over a month. I guess I just have to be patient.
I had the courtesy FSTB and now I have the Stillen. It makes a noticable difference. Try taking it off and then driving around for a day, your car will feel very different and you'll appreciate the FSTB even more. Now you just need to get a RSB
