Installed: FTSB and RASB

Just installed Cattman's FTSB and the Progress RASB and WOW what a differance! One quick question though, has anyone installed the Pedders Shocks? Brain from Cattman told me about them and I didnt see any posts on these yet and was hoping for some feed back before i ordered... My Max is now cornering like a bat out of he11!

I've installed FSTBs and RSBs on both of my Nissans (Sentra and Maxima). I've got to say that the RSB is the one that makes the biggest difference in how the car handles and feels on the road. The FSTB isn't useless, but if I had to pick the one that made the most improvement, it would be the RSB.

Im going to call Brian up tomorrow and get some more information on the pedders system. Looks like thats my next move. From what i can gather they have been doing suspension in the Aussie TOCA series and have started making for some other cars. Brian said these were the best he offers.... will post more information tomorrow after the call. BTW if you DONT have a RSB... GET ONE! I didnt realize how much this would help but wow what a differance!

I got both FTSB and RSB for $315 shipped... I know he doesnt have any more Cattman Ti FTSB's as I got the last one, but if you call him i think the RSW is selling for like $135-145. I could be wrong but that sounds close... Its WORTH every penny!

I like the lower rear bar personally. You get better cornering for your money... Plus the one in your trunk is the same as a FTSB and really thats nice but the RSW is what really does most of the work...
