my car is starting to get a little sloppy on the road, i think mainly because my tires are shot, but i deff want to stiffen up the feel of the car with strut and sway bars. i have my stock sawblades on now but will be putting on my ssr gt1 18's soon. i also have h&r springs with kyb agx adjustables. suspension is fine. just curious to know how everone feels about strut and sway bars. and the best place to buy them. thanks!

 

FSTB are def worth it, makes the car feel nice and stable, relatively speaking. As for the best place to buy them? Well, a simple PM to me will get you a good deal on a used Stillen FSTB.

 

the RSB will give you the biggest difference in handling progress sells one you can get it from cattman

 

Sorry for the hijack in advance, but...doesn't the RSB promote understeer quite badly in our cars?

Already got the FTSB btw Swazey and it's practically a prerequisite for a 4th Gen Maxima, it's night and day from stock especially if coupled with springs (nothing crazy necessary - just an inch drop and you'll feel the difference in the 'tightness' in corners) and decent springs.

Only had experience with the Stillen FTSB - works fine for me but according to FrontPage it's the most expensive one out there...

 

Sorry - I meant to say 'springs and shocks...'

 

megan racing sells FSTB and Springs for our cars as well. the springs provide the most drop i've seen for our cars @ 2.0" rear and 2.2" front. the spring rate is also better than the Stech's and i got quoted for 160 canadian so i might try them.

 

RSB will help reduce understeer....as far as the best Springs it depends on what ur wants are...the best struts are Koni's

 

Um... I'm not sure where people here are getting their info , but increasing rear "roll" spring rates (adding an RSB) will promote oversteer and reduce understeer. IIRC a FSTB is sort of noticeable, but not THAT noticeable. I have Koni yellows and love them, they're awesome paired with Progress springs, although you do need to kind of pay through the nose for Konis.

 

Sorry mate - i meant to say 'over'steer not under.

 

Got Eibach Pro-Kits mated to KONIs with a Stillen FTSB - I reckon the strut brace makes a big difference but that's opinion. The RSB apparently makes an even bigger difference.

 

u can find them for the same price as Illuminas...just gotta look for them..and strut braces dont make a huge difference....but they are cheap so y not

 

i already have shocks and springs. im deff going to get a front strut bar. you guys recommend getting front and rear sway bars and or rear strut bar?

 

front and rear sway bars would be ur best bet rear strut bar doesnt really do much

 

front strut bar and a rear sway bar.

 

Worst post ever.
