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...

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

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.... : )
