New Product Out for 4th and 5th gen..
 

There are some who love $10 ebay strut bars, there are some who love Stillen $100+ polished strut bars, there are those who love chrome.. Here's something new..

Introducing Paradox Systems' new Heavy Duty Aluminum Strut bar for 4th and 5th gens (Yes, you A32/A33 I30's as well)

Plenty sturdy, plenty of surface area to "Bling" if you wanna chrome but looks great without the chrome. None of that bending that I read about if you pull on the middle section.

Note the small opening on top, for those with camber plates or any suspension that has extras on top, it will not fit. There are grooves along the bottom of the outer disks that fit onto the grooves on your car so it sits flush. ( I will put pics of the underside tonight )

Will also add engine bay pics as soon as I clean the snow off.

Whoah! That's the most OVERbuilt heaviest looking FSTB I've ever seen.

How much is it?

$120 shipped from www.paradox-systems.com

:sprint:

I think it looks awsome, looks like a FSTB for a semi.....

Its not for everyone but every person that has seen the one I have on my car in person has loved it and asked for one. Imagine the shine if you chromed it :)

Looks really good, but I question it's design. To me, it looks like the two bolts that attach to strut caps will not offer much strength in resisting torsional twist.

Wow that thing is Massive, Do the 10 dollar ones off ebay really sux that much???

How do you adjust it?

whats next.. titanium lug nuts?

You dont adjust it, your just beat people up with it. :grinno:

adjust it how? I've never adjusted mine, do I need to?

A sturt bar is a strut bar , and this is over done and just looks like a waste of cash to me. I bet handeling will be no diffrent then from my ebay bar.

Wow..looks like the exact same one from procarparts...looks like paradox is selling about $20 cheaper though

ooh, chrome. Unless it's offered in different colors you won't sell too many considering you can get ones you methined on ebay for a 1/10th of the price. That thing also seems to weigh as much as 10 other FSTBs.

That would be huge shiny piece if someone would get one polished.

personally, i love it...but weigh it before i decide to replace my CM one...i wanted a polished bar in the first place, and always wished they hadn't drilled all the holes in their bar...this seems to fix that little issue :D

Looks good, looks like procarparts.com bar, but a little bit smaller and cheaper.

I saw one like this on a 3rd gen Altima. It looked sweet.:nod: My ebay bar does what I ask of it though.

I have seen these before...custommaxima.com used to sell these, or at least had a few for sale but they were like $200

Totally agree with you, I look at the Cattman FSTB I have, sorry but this one is no match, it look nice but like Dave B said, the 2 thinny bolt wont offer much strength, to each his own.

good work on trying to bring out a new product though! :-)

ahh maxima.org, the perfect place to bring products that aren't $10 and easily found on ebay.

I love the fact that there are so many people coming out with more products for the MAX. But you don't need an engineering degree to see that any kind of flex would weaken or break the cap head screws holding this thing together. It does look great.

I happen to have forged titanium lug nuts.... :grinno:

It isn't a price issue with me. If the part looks well built then I will pay what you ask, but if the product looks like there is a flaw in the design. Not only will I not buy it but I will let others now. This is not only to help other members but to help the manufacturer make a better product. That is what I like about the org.

OT: I like the CF trunk, it looks great. As soon as I clear some of my projects( and stop traveling for work), then I would get one.

Where's the bench press for that thing? :thumbsup:

I think this Paradox bar looks awesome! Props on the design and production of something new.

I also have questions similar to Dave B, about how well this bar functions though. I know the mounts and the bar is strong, but are the connecting bolts the weak link?

its cool to have all the different selections. that way when you hit the big meet we all wont have the same fstb. lol

The Frankenstein Of Fstb

That looks bad *** but will those two little screws hold I get paid on thursday so well see if i can make up my mind by then.

:sprint: .

thanks MOJO for continuing the production of new products for our cars.. i will get this bar as a Valentine's present and show it off at the next NE meet. :D

I think I'll get one of these in the spring and have it dipped for some extra chrome effect under the hood.

:wavey: hi tony.

:wavey: hi sadler

HOW MUCH DOES YOUR CAR WEIGH NOW? :lol:

Hi highly doubt that the maxima frame will creat enogh torsional twist to brake those bolts.

Nice design MaxMoJo! keep up the good work!

I really like the way that looks.. nice job, guys.
