Anyone running Ultra Racing rear sway bar?

Also looks very easy to remove if you need to take it in for any warranty work.

That is the same but theirs is also only bolted with one bolt on each side.
They have holes their already.
I don't think its going to be a group buy but more or less special pricing since group buys do not work well for everyone.

Mine is actually tucked up pretty high as well but I don't have a lift to take a better picture of the way it looks. I wouldn't worry too much unless your lowered a lot.

I crawled under the Fit and saw the holes. I really think that is the best position for mounting and aftermarket rear swaybar. On my Mustang the rear swaybar is mounted on the lower control arms right below the spring perch just like the picture you've shown.

I think this is a bunch of MALARKY! The front tower bars do not have to be bolted to the top of the struts to be effective! I have the Cusco front and rear tower bars and it made a WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE! whoever told you that it has to be bolted to the top of the struts to be "good" is an idiot. the goal of a sturt bar or "tower bar" is to connect one side of the car to the other side a.k.a. driver side to the passenger side. making it more sturdy and have less body flex. The j's , cusco, and other brand names all conect one side of the the frame to the the other side of the frame A.k.A "body" makeing it do its job and do it GOOD! Not trying to sound like a douche but i keep hearing complaints of how it's not good because its not an OLD Fashion strut to strut setup. and it is not true

Ultra Racing Anti-Roll Bars and Strut Bar is just a waste of your money... Try bending it... The material used are just CMI. The mounting just ain't right.
Compared to Cusco, it makes a big difference...
Agrees with what Fallen_Rock has written.

As the title says is anyone running one? It looks to be a simple bolt-on installation you could do in the garage.
Rear Anti-roll Bar / Rear Sway Bar / Rear Stabilizer Bar [UR-AR16-146] - $209.00 : UltraRacing USA
A nice set of lowering springs and I think this Ultra Racing bar would be a great addition to stiffen up the rear. I think the GE8 Fit really needs help in the rear to balance out the nose heavy front end.
What do you guys think?

Or you could reduce undesteer by reducing front ASB.

What is ASB?

if the stock sway bar can't be removed, then how would we mount the Cusco? It looks like it replaces the stock bar, not like the bolt on the Ultra Racing or the Progress bars are.

Yeah, I think I'll hit my cousin up on that one, he's a master mechanic at a Honda dealer ... that is if I can find a buyer for my kidney which I'd have to sell to afford the Cusco bar

I think yhey meant the top of the shock portion of the strut. Many ASB's are linked to the shock section and not the top of the rod as was implied.
That would work of course. And those attaching to the trailing arms are not taking into account the 'warp' that the bar gets when twisted. Thats why the good antisway bars are attached to the body, to keep the twist uniform.

We were talking about upper strut bars not sway bars
