Need SFC, FSTB and Poly Busihings INSTALLED

I have a new 2002 Nissan Maxima SE and want to add subframe connectors
1&2 from WSP, as well as polyurethane bushings and FSTB. I am NOT mechanically inclined and want to find an experienced and reputable company or individual to install these mods to aftermarket manufacturer's specs. Does anyone know any Philadelphia area person or outfit that is trustworthy, qualified and reasonable? Thanks!

Re: Need SFC, FSTB and Poly Busihings INSTALLED

Didn't pick a brand yet, am open to suggestions - as far as location, I assumed there were limited options on the front suspension where existing bushings are rubber and.

My desire is to firm up the rubbery response to aggressive steering with the harder bushings and the FSTB and to stiffen the frame with the SFC for less flex and ripple effect from bumps. Please let me know if I'm on the right track, or if there are other measures I should take - without customizing too much opr whackin the supsension with lower springs.

Hay Emax95 found it - I've been told the polys should go at both ends of the front sway bar. Good? Bad? Not much difference??

Thanks!

No companys make any polyurethane bushings for the 5th gen maxima to my knowledge. I tried 4th gen poly bushings on my FSB but the dimenions are totaly off, the 5th gen sway bar is totaly different(larger and different in shape). I contacted energy supension a few weeks back about having them make some bushing for us but I never recieved a reply. If by chance you do find 5th gen poly bushings please let me know

I've looked around and this seems to be the only thread on 5th gen poly bushings. Did anyone ever find out if there are indeed any polyurethane bushings. Maybe even graphite impregnated? Is my only route ordering the AE se poly bushings?
