do those things hold up? they all look like they wouldn't do crap. also, what's a decent sounding (not too loud) & priced muffler/catback for a 97 max? ebay's got a rack of those $30 bumblebee tuna cans too... crap...

 

I don't see why the strut bars would be crap. They all serve the same purpose...stabilization. some might be expensive 'cause they are brand name. I have a no nome strut bar...and it has held up for a couple of years. as for the exhaust...save more money and get yourself an Apexi,Stillen or OBX..lotsa of people are trying out the OBX and have had good reviews about it.

 

Got my $35 strut bar off Ebay 3 years ago. Why in the world would you pay any more then that for a simple polished aluminum bar?

 

Ordered an eBay one for $24 shipped It should be here tomorrow but it might come when I'm in school so I have to wait til Monday to get it

 

I just got a custommaxima tower bar two weeks ago and i love it

 

they all serve the same purpose whether it cost $5.00 or $250.00

my procarparts fstb is good..

 

ditto...
got a ebay fstb from pro car parts and it is fine.
they all serve the same purpose. as long as the bar produces tension between the strut towers. If you care that much about looks get something different

 

As long as it's a solid piece between teh strut towers they will do the same job...i got mine for $16 on eBay

 

I noticed alittle difference in hard cornering, you feel the front end not sag as much as the back, it's the $15 ebay

 

I also noticed a LITTLE improvement on how quick and precise my turn-in is.

But, I'll say it and say it again...
GET ES FSB and END-LINK BUSHINGS FOR YOUR MAX. I notice A very big improvement in all areas of handling and the car feels way more solid. Great buy for only 30 bucks

 

How hard is it to do bushings?

 

not difficult at all. You could do it. I've seen your posts on motorvate.ca before.
Energy Suspension does not actually make a end-link kit for our cars but if you get a hold of courtesy nissan, they sell the end-link ES bushings for something like 20 bucks shipped, and you can get the part number for the sway bar bushings from energy suspension. they are like 10 bucks.

i got my Bar for 25.00 through EBAY. Meganracing.com was the seller. works great!

 

got mine off of ebay $32 shipped.

 

That's the seller I ordered mine from The UPS guy came like 5-10 minutes before I got home so I missed it Going to pick it up Monday
Thanks! I'll probably get them in a few months and install them when spring comes

 

I got ripped off buying a $25 strut bar from e-bay.
The bracket bolts that bolt it to the bar were cross threaded and forced in.

I got another from e-bay, and it's been installed for for 1 year now. Tighter
feel when turning at high speeds.

My 2¢

 

while we are at the subject, what u guys think about this 1? seems very cheap and looks awesome. should i go ahead and get it?

lol f*ck it just go to that site

 

i did, whats the point of the pic. srry!

 

One side screws in clockwise, and the other screws in counter-clockwise. Could this be your problem? I've heard of alot of people having the problem of "the screw not threading, not knowing the whole time that they were turning it the wrong way.

 

That's the same bar I have, works great and cheap too. He probably has alot because he's a wholesale dealer

 

I got a matrix FSTB for 30 bucks shipped on ebay and honestly is just a great, cheap mod

 

bought the crappy cardboard one... does nothing to improve cornering
j/k got one off ebay, works just fine
