Title explains it all. I was going to try to secretly get the addco, but i read that it makes the car "tail happy" at its limits. Read it here:

The stillen one is kinda too expensive. So please tell me your setup and how much the handling was affected.

I plan on installing the RSB and the FSTB on one day, so hopefully i'll feel some great results. I just need to know which RSB. Going to go with a generic FSTB on ebay.

 

I have had the addco since I purchased the car and love it... I personally felt there was no reason to go for a more expensive model. I like the rear coming lose a bit much better than the front but that is me.

 

hmm, you can't search on the forum. Let me help you a bit.

progress from cattman.

 

Oversteer is nothing to be afraid of in a FWD car, it's very very fun. Put some hair on ya *****.

 

<--- Progress

 

mee too. it's great.

 

Addco. I will never take it off.

 

Same here, i ahd always heard about its improvements but hestitated to get one, when I finally got it and installed it I noticed a huge difference and was very pleased with it.

 

Progress. Makes me feel like I can drift for a second. Rally Style

 

haha ok i guess its well worth it.
3 more questions.
1. Where is the best/cheapest place to buy one? I'm probably going to go with addco since it looks to be the cheapest and works fine. Can i possibly get one of these at a local store (autozone and such)? Wouldnt mind paying a few extra dollars to get this locally and not letting my parents know about it.

2. It looks to be very simple to install, but can i rent the ramps somewhere so i dont have to buy them?

3. I guess i wouldnt mind the oversteer either, but can it be corrected with sticky high performance tires?

 

both my maximas have stillen.. i had an addco in my 97 but got a stillen instead since it offers more adjustablity than either progress or addco.

 

1.I don't know

2. I used jacks and the install was easy. I'm sure you can rent ramps from an automotive store

3. Wider tires would help a lot. The breaking point would be at a higher speed. I love pushing my car to the breaking point and sliding sideways. Takes some practice though.

 

OK thanks, now all i need to know is if i can get it somewhere local. If not, where's the best place to order it from.

this is the cheapest I found. It's a good price for what it does. Happy Modding
Sorry man I don't thing you'll find it locally. You can try a performance auto store. They may be able to order one. Probably will be more expensive though.

 

i got my addco rear swap bar from www.redlinemax.com...fast shipping and a great price. RSB's own my life!!

 

I have been using the Progress RSB for 2+ yrs and can't imagine my car without it. Why not buy it from Sportcompactonly.com and use the Maxima.org 5% discount?

 

Do you know how the Cattman bar is different from a Progress bar found elsewhere?

 

its the same bar

 

I wouldnt worry about oversteer too much, you have to push your car pretty damn hard to make the back end slide out. I have taken severals corners pretty hard and the back end held its ground. There is still considerable body roll when taking corners at above average speeds so you pretty much know how hard you can push the car. I have driven sports car with little to no body roll and its a lot harder to predict when you are about to lose control because when you do its too late, lol.

I honestly feel that Maximas should have come stock with an RSB bar of some sort, its just too floaty without it.

 

Wow quick reply! The bar also works on a 99+ G20 (P11) - we have a group buy going on over at G20.net - I was curious... Thanks.

 

They do have a stock one

 

I am referring to the 4th Gens. My 99 SE didnt have one so I assumed the others didnt either.

 

your 99 does have one, as well as all the other 4th gens. The beam acts as an RSB

 

Whatever the case, the ride felt way too floaty during high speed lane changes and general turning.

 

i agree there. add some D2's and your set tho - I got rid of my RSB bc the rear was way to stiff w/ both the D2's and the extra RSB

 

<------ Progress

 

 

Its just a bar, they are all relatively the same no matter who makes it. If there are any differences, it is more than likely not worth the price of admission.

 

Progress......oversteer is great and i have only gotten some at auto-x and it was actually very helpful and very controlable.....people tell tails about their rear-end magically stepping out...NOT TRUE..they just cant drive....its takes alot for it to do it....and its very predictable and controlable

 

Addco, that does nothing.

 

Zoli Elo holy crap this thread is old, I started it back when I had my old max!

 

Power of using yahoo to search and my curiousity about Max RSB for my P11 GB are to thank.

I used to have a 91 Max but never came around here - my mistake, great forum.

 

Just ran across this and wanted to post for anybody searching. Now stop your whining about the tail coming around by adding just one RSB !

 

Wow, that's nuts. Can I ask why such a setup?

Maybe he really needs an old Porsche or a new GT3 instead of a Max lol.

 

-----addco. used. I love it and it's never comming off.... except maybe for paint. not sure yet.

 

-------Progress--------, I just got and installed it from the Group deal that Cattman has oing on right now. one of the best mods because you feel the difference even on stock suspension....I just cant wait to drop my car..then it's over.....

 

Neuspeed on my GTI and Progress on my Maxima.

Both made a night and day difference!
