Installed Sways Today ...

On my brother's 2000 Maxima SE.



Still looks like he has a ton of body roll. My car still takes turns faster, not sure how much credit is due to both nuespeed bars. He just got an Eibach pro-kit too, so now we both have to install springs.

Just wait until you install those springs.
They will make a huge difference! Its called
the end of body roll,however Koni Yellows will even make it much better! Good luck with
your install!

Neuspeed LOWER Tie bar won't fit our Car IF you have headers: CORRECT ?

At least this is what I've heard and been told by others

Correct me if I'm wrong

Springs may have little effect on body roll, but sway bars are meant to minimize body roll. Springs, OTOH, prevent dive and squat on acceleration and braking. FYI.

It was Marioman. I bought the bar from him. There was minor abrasions on the bar from the contact. You know what, there is contact between the bar and the pre-cat right now on the stock setup. It causes some wierd vibration/resonating sound at 1900 rpm. I'm going to take it off and sand it down a bit to get some clearance. You could do the same with one if you have headers, it should work fine.

Hey fzabakos! I don't have headers yet. Am
holding out for a little while longer. Am
hoping another manufacturer will make headers. Let us know how sanding helps the
prevention of thunking noises! Thanks for
the tip. I have Neuspeed Upper Strut Brace on order and would order lower but I do want headers!

Blazerbob,

I am holding out, as your are. I'm not actually getting thunking noises, just the SOUND of vibration. I dont feel it, I just hear it. Maybe it is my head, I'm gonna have my cousin look at it at the dealer. My car handles like a gem right now, so i dont want to take it off.
