The difference is very noticeable. Your car will handle much better. I believe this is one of the best & least expensive mods for our cars.

Do you have yours on the soft or stiff setting? I chose the soft setting because i didn't want to risk breaking the endlinks. I do notice the rear end staying slightly more rigid and swaying less during turns but overall handling improvement is marginal at best...mostly because the front end of the car is still much heavier compared to the rear and sways during sharp turns...wish i had the sport package... with the upgraded front sway bar and stiffer springs...All in all, for the price and ease of installation, i would buy again.

There are several threads/reviews on this item here. In short, the RL rsb is much better than the stock. It's better made and its also adjustable as it had two settings. Additionally, it comes with new bushings which is a nice touch. As it relates to the bushings, be sure to lube/grease the heck out of them when you install them as they can cause a noise from the rear if they dry out. Otherwise, you can't go wrong!

Which setting is more aggressive setting ?

Also how does one purchase new bushings as it is not listed on their site ?

Likewise. An error message came up stating I was unable to use the free shipping code for the selected shipping method. I chose the basic shipping for $19 or so not UPS. Does the free shipping not apply to US residents?

I have mine on the soft setting. I lowered my car the week after I bought it, first mod, then added the RSB later on. For me, the difference was very noticeable, especially when taking turns at highway speeds.

Will this improve my handling considerably on my sport model.
I mean does it make sense, or the sport model doesn't benefit that much from this mod?

If I were to purchase this, then I believe most of you guys would recommend purchasing new endlinks, is this correct? If not, how much life would I expect out of the stock endlinks on either setting (aggressive vs soft)? Debating whether to get these or HID fogs. ;-)

Get the options of the stainless steel end-links with your RSB.

The rear sway bar makes a big difference even on sports package; the front strut tower bar does not. If you're considering getting this and this discount here holds to be true then I would definitely recommend purchasing it.

Sorry the system kept dropping the US shipping. It is fixed and tested and other orders have cleared properly.

I have opened the free shipping up to ANY items listed in the 09+ maxima section

Not hard at all. One of the easiest 15 minutes you'll spend and get the most response from. Grab a beer and I'll bet you finish installing before it's empty . Well... I guess that depends lol.

Just curious anybody else order this and didn't come with instructions. I'm not an idiot when it comes to figuring things out, but the site states that it comes with instructions.

Also I installed it last night, and def feel how solid the car is now

This is a nice deal. Does anyone know the spec differences between the OEM and this RL sway? I dont see the specs listed on the site.

It's pretty easy, I've never done something like this, my buddy who is a mechanic did the work but I was under the car with him when we did it, it's literally 6 bolts, 1 for each endlink, and 2 for each bushing bracket. We had the pleasure of using a lift, but if you'll be jacking up the rear end yourself make sure to use jack stands.
