Over the course of time, several members have commented that these are not worth it unless you plan on autocrossing, etc.

Depending on the install, it will also limit your trunk space.

I do autoX (try it, its very addicting!), just looking to see if it is a quality bar as the stillen one is way expensive.

I've heard the RSTB does nothing. I would recommend getting the RSB instead.

IMO, the rstb does make the steering feel more tight w/better feels...due to the rear bracing of the struts=better rigidity. This question has been brought up so many times!

OK, maybe my orginal post was not clear. I've been around this board for a while and know the pro/cons of a RSTB. I have the FSTB, RSB, sprints, etc.

What I am asking is if anyone has the "trust of japan" bar, and is it a quality part?

Its on ebay for $40 + $12 shipping, and the seller has a bunch. OR can you get another good bar for about $50?

Thanks

I don't have a picture but the bar looks like the one from Courtesy Nissan and the brackets are similiar to the Trust (as shown on this thread). I paid $51 (include shipping fee) for it. They give discount if you mention that you are Maxima.org member.

I was told that Trust of Japan is also known as Greddy. Could be wrong though....
