Definitely

Just get the FSTB....you won't believe how it tightens up the handling of a Maxima. It's the first mod every Maxima owner should get (plus the RSB).

Yes, as Eric said. Combine that with the RSB and it improves your handling quite a bit.

Performance on both is ~same.

Courtesy is OEM looking.
Stillen is Aftermarket looking, and more $$$.

You make the call.

i felt nothing.

courtesy fstb on my 2kmax.

i already had eibachs and rear sway, maybe that's why i couldn't feel anything. if i were u, get the rsb, you'll definitley feel the difference on freeway turns.

if you dont wanna spend a lotta cash on it, just get the one from http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com. if you have a 4th gen, itll bolt right on. if u have a 5th gen, it requires the same mod as a courtesey would.
