Anyone running Ultra Racing rear sway bar?

Just wanted to let everybody know that it fits fine. I'm about to go hurt the twisties in a bit with another Fit. I took some quick pics so the quality is not there, but at least it confirms that the bar fits.

Do you have a sport, or a base?
The sport has an already-stiffened rear torsion beam, whereas the base has a normal torsion beam. (Without the extra 17mm stiffener.)
People with base model fits could buy the sport rear axle, swap it on, and then have no issues with still meeting Stock SCCA guidelines.

I have a sport model Fit but my setup right now is UR c-pillar, UR rear strut bar, UR rear sway bar.
I will check on the bolt heads later when I have time and let you know but it doesn't seem like it would be a problem for those already lowered with springs.
The car handles so nicely with everything I have done to the rear of the car. It is really planted to the ground and stiff in the back.

I had a Ultra Racing rear anti roll bar and other suspension bits on my Toyota Yaris and it reduced the rear sway a lot, but once or twice It lifted the rear end going fast around a corner. I think it needs a stiffer anti roll bar on the front, too. It would balance the car out a bit.
I think anyone using Tanabe springs needs a larger anti roll bar on the front and rear. There is still a lot of body sway and roll, sometimes I think even more than with stock springs.
I have also been looking at a front tower strut bars and all the one I have seen for the new Fit aren't so good. They don't install on top of the struts only fixed on the body.
Then the ones that can tighted, only tighten inwards, not outwards to stiffen the tops of the struts on corners. I think Ultra racing are body fixed. They won't do anything, just for show.

I don't think it can be tucked the other way since its angled to fit a certain way.
The install was easy took about 20 minutes with 4 bolts two on each side.
The bolts do not touch the spring it comes very close though. The heads are on top as well.
