^Josh, the four point lower bar. I've already gone through nearly all the decent strut bars (OEM, TRD, JIC), only to end up back at the stock one hahaha.

Well, after much lollygagging, I placed an order for this sucker. In about 2 weeks time, we'll see if this is indeed another viable suspension mod for our cars.

this looks really interesting but it seems like it will only be a noticed difference to anyone who has coilovers...

^Paul/pt: The bar is $149, plus shipping from IL (I was quoted $35 at the time, might've shot up since then)

TMMK: Will do. SInce I can't afford any other power adders right now, might as well get the suspension sorted out.

~SolaRaSpeed~: May seem so, but quite a few of the guys on MaximaForums were stating quite a noticeable difference in on-road behavior of the car with a similar lower brace installed. I can only hope for similar results.

Dang how did i miss this thread.
I was thinkin' about makin' a brace like that for the front and maybe for the trunk and the hole behind the back seats.
Good find.

Still waiting to receive it. It's being shipped from the manufacturer in Indonesia, to the retailer in IL, then to me in CA. I'll hopefully have it in another week or so.

Alright kiddos, the brace has finally made it to my house tonight after its long voyage from Malaysia to Chicago, then here to L.A. Sorry for the bad pic/messy bed, but I'll take more detailed pics when I get this puppy installed this weekend!
