I was looking to increase the handling on my maxima for under $500. I found a Stillen rear sway bar for $150 which peaked my interest. Are these worth the money and will I notice a difference in the handling?

 

I suppose question is, what are you doing with it? Weekend challenging poor saps or just overall handling in general?

Now I am new to the late-model Maxima scene but it seems like Stillen is the only one who makes exhaust intake etc. for these platforms. I would think that it would make a difference in your ride. Are you running stock size tires? If so are you running about 35 PSI?

 

I’m primarily highway miles but it’s would be nice to just increase the handling going around u-turns and corners at higher speeds. Your spot on about the stillen being the only thing out there. As for the tires I keep them at 38-40 PSI. Sounds like that could be to much? My dealer serviced the car and they pressurized the tires to that on my last oil change. (35-36 cold tires) heats up to 38+Psi

 

RSB and Eibach springs if your struts are in good condition.

 

Thanks fellas

 

just be careful about voiding warranty. Had new speakers and amp installed in my maxima then proceeded to have an issue with head unit which Nissan wouldn’t repair due to my modifications

 

Nissan has to PROVE that your mods (speakers, amp) caused the issue with your head unit......just in case you were unaware of that "fun fact".....since about 1975.

 

speaking of warranties, do you recommend i get a warranty for my maxima sl 2017, i have a week to decide and not sure if problems are common with this car

 

Depends on the warranty price, is it, Nissan sourced? (Not a third party) What is the time mileage duration?
