I have a Maxima and the car has WAY to much body roll. Are any of you guys using sway bars and what kinds. Also I know this is kinda silly but my dad just wants to know if anyone here has converted an automatic Maxima to a manual? Also I have a 2002 Maxima, it's an automatic.

There are a few sway bars offered for the Maxima. Here are a couple of ways to tighten the suspension:

Check out the Maxima.org forums for opinions and reviews of the different brands.
And here are some links for additional information:

Also springs and shocks/struts are a major factor in suspension feel. Getting stiffer springs and aftermarket shocks will dramatically improve handling. And as for the auto to manual swap, I've heard of a 4th gen having accomplished it so I would assume it's just as easy for the 5th gen. See here: http://www.stormpages.com/autoto5spd
