Domestics like the Mustang and Camaro have them. Check out the pic about halfway down this page... FSTB for a Camaro. Is there anything similar available for the Maxima?

Thanks.

I love this line in the description of that brace.

-Greatly reduces cowl shake and interior rattles.

I can just picture the cowl on that GM beast shaking around and as far as rattles go - you'll never get a POS car like that to be rattle free. That interrior is so cheap.

Good job GM!

 

Never thought I'd hear Good and GM in the same sentence....lol!

 

Yeah! And 4th gen Maximas NEVER rattle or feel cheap and tinny!


3-point FSTBs would be a great mod for our "soft"-chassis, but there aren't any available. The only option is to have one custom-fabricated. Shouldn't be all that difficult or expensive, though, just might not look so hot.

 

how about polyurethane motor mounts, sway bar bushings and endlinks, control arm bushings, standard FSTB, radial arms (when released), unibody stiffeners/SFC's and other modifictions to tighten up your front-end, while not losing access to your engine bay?

 

HA! One of my co-workers has a mildly modded Camaro that exceeds the torque specs on its frame. After a bout of hard acceleration, he has trouble opening his trunk! Does the term "sub-frame connector" occur to anybody...?

 

Thanks dude... I'll do that! It looks the best... and seems like functionally it is about the same as the round fstbs.

 

Aside from the fact that there is nowhere to affix the 3rd point, and the fact that it would be completely in the way of everything in the engine bay...I would suggest a RSB or performance suspension to improve your car's handling.

Maximas feeling cheap or tinny? No. They do rattle sometimes, but I don't know of ANY CAR THAT DOESN'T RATTLE on occasion. BMW's rattle. And have you been in a Camaro? The interior is so cheap.

My coworker got the 2002 SS Camaro w/ t-tops. Rattles, makes noises, yadda yadda. And someone I knew had a SS, MAJOR FRAME contortion when power is added.
