ADDCO Rear Anti-Sway Bars. Are they any good and is this mod worth it? I already ordered one and will install it on Friday after the car gets aligned. I got it for $145. What difference should I notice?

The ADDCO RSB was my second mod. Highly recommended! Almost no body roll when cornering. Really helps make the Max a Sports Sedan.

As for Carparts try http://www.importhookup.com. (Think it's Carpart's own ad agency but what the hay)

Thanks. If I get lower springs, do I have to change the shocks also to adjustable type, or would the stock ones work?

It'll save you labor to switch out the stuts when you do the springs. The stock stuts can't handle the lowering very well (mine lasted <20Kmi before they were/are toast)

Only get adjustable stuts if you want/need em. There's a couple regular ones that should work like KYB or Tokico

shox.com
10$ difference with tirerack.com but shox.com should match and might offer a maxima.org discount on these springs

Thanks for all the great input. I want to get H&R Springs as I hear they don't change the ride as much. My shocks are likely original (60K) so I might as well shange them aslo, though I don't notice anything showing that the stocks are going out.

Where is a good place to get a deal on both? Any other shocks I should consider?
