Front Sway Bar
hi guys
i just installed my progress rear sway bar and wow what a huge difference. I have a couple of questions about the upgrading the front sway bar.
1) Anyone here install aftermarket front sway bar?
2) Did it make a big difference?
3) How hard is the install?
so far the only aftermarket front sway bar is found was T1R($195) and blox ($135). Is there a big difference between the two company like quality? they both have the same diameter of 24mm?
Any help would be appreciated.

As for the install I've heard that you have to loosen the lower crossmember to fit the sway bar into place.

T1r
I have had my front sway bar in for about 3 or 4 months now, the car is lowered on tein s-techs, front & rear strut bars(blah). I honestly love the way it handles, the only thing I wish I had were both tires, and coil-overs. But I don't and thats O.K. because it feels great. Oh yeah, I wouldn't recomend trying to install yourself. The lower subframe needs to be lowered and it just turned out to be a huge hassle and not for the driveway mechanic. My local shop charged me 85$/ 1hr for install.

I have a front BE-RS 24mm sway bar installed, I also give it a great review. Handeling feels great, it has proven it's worth on the track to me as well. A lot of people commented on how well the car handles over stock.
A few people seem to think it is not a good upgrade, however results I have experienced with it in are hard to argue with.
Also AJR's fit (also the fastest time attack fit) has one installed

because its just doesnt, I dont feel a difference at all. I take corners at the same speed as I use to. No difference from stock, shouldve known cuz our rear is soild. all it does is bolt up to the beam, it has no purpose but add weight

mr08fit did you have both front and rear sway bars on your fit? which brand did u go with t1r?
thanks

No I just have the front, and yes I went with T1R. I just got a price back on some wheels and tires so I'm really looking forward to the improvement with a decent set of tires. Also George02~ Your car looks damn nice!

So you're going with no rear sway bar but a larger front one? I would think that will only serve to increase understeer.
