I noticed a difference too actually when I was running DF210s, Felt a lot more secure on hard turn ins... havnt pushed the car hard at all since i put coilovers on though so not sure there.

But i wouldnt buy one just for the performance, i wouldnt say the difference justifies the cost

I installed the TRD rear after the Tanabe front, and I actually did not notice a difference when I put the rear on...

thats definetely strange as like i said before the front strut towers are already tied together by your firewall as well as the front come stock with a sway bay so an added rear sway bar should be like night and day...

as the car without a rear sway bar and the stock front sway bar should noticabbly understeer... so when u add the sway bar to the rear should neutralize the said effect of the stock front.... : )

ya i agree really the only way for a front strut brace to work on the xd is to mount it to the top were you bolt the strut to the cars tower if you see thats were the flex is.ill try and get pic of waht im talking about so you can see what i mean
