STRUT BAR WAS EASY AND YES THE STEARING GETS FLATTER AND AN ITS MORE RESPONSIVE. THE NISMO SWAY BARS ALLOW YOU TO CARRY MORE SPEED THROUGY LONG CORNERS I NOTICED I DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE STEARING CORRECTIONS ON HIGHWAY CORNERS AND RAMPS.

How much did it cost to install the sway bars and did you run into any complications in the process?

sway bar install cost me 130 at my mechanic. and it involved taking of the tires un bolting the entire exhaust right up to the exhaust manifold droping the engine by 3inches. the rear was a 2.5 out of 5 in difficulty and the front was a 3 out of 5. the only complication was that i forgot my wheel lock at home so we did it with the wheels on. but wheels off would be easier. My mechanic is very experienced but the nismo install instructions helped.

Well I have taken your advice and purchased the Racingline strut bar and it should be arriving within days. Hopefully it will perform just as well as everyone says it does. Is there anything in regards to the installation that I should know about or is it pretty much straight forward?
