RSTB really does make a difference.

...even with the other suspension mods already on my car (95SE) including FSTB, RSB, Eibach/Tokicos, 16" OZ wheels, and Dunlop SP5000's. I notice that the car is a little tighter going around corners. Less twist and wiggle when pushed. This is good.

Definitely worth the $50 I paid for it used. And it doesn't take up much trunk space nor does it block the passthrough from the trunk to the back seat.

Strange....most people say its a waste.....I really dont see how its useful. In the front there is nothing holding the two sides together...but in the back its different. The trunk is pretty solid and enclosed unlike the hood. I'd probably get it as a last mod...

That's because most people don't have one. A RSTB does help and is worth the money. I would just do all the other major suspension mods first like you said.

I noticed the same thing, third suspension mod for me. I thought it'd be mostly cosmetic, like everyone else says, but the above post is very true. BTW, the stillen RSTB is cheap for what i'm saving up for, cattman coilovers...mmm...

Jim, great to hear that you like the RSTB!! It does make a slight difference but not as much as the RSB or FSTB. Now you got a good set up on your Maxima unless you want to upgrade to a set of KYB AGX adjustables.
