Thinking about installing a FTSB on my 2000 I30. For those that have done it, have a few questions:

Did it really make a difference in handling and how?

Can the FTSB for the Max fit on the I30?

What happens if you don't have a wrench to get the nuts to the correct tightness. Does it matter or can you just make it as tight as possible?

New to this, so thanks for your help!

I installed an FSTB and an RSB on my 2000 I30t last summer. The car feels tighter in a corner, tracking more precisely than before. The RSB significantly reduces body roll.

I installed these items on my 1995 Maxima a few years ago. The RSBs look the same to me, but the FSTBs are different. I do not believe the FSTBs can be interchanged.

Go rent/borrow a torque wrench from an auto parts store. If you over-tighten the nuts, you're going to snap off a strut bolt. (Just like I did!) The torque spec on this install is *not* as heavy as you think. It's not in the "super tight" range at all. It's more like... medium-snug.

Good luck.
