The car already has legendary handling but with the added front sway bar, the turn in and steering is even more responsive! The car takes turns much better and I feel as if it&#8217;s hugging the road better. \u00a0The install only took a few minutes and it was a direct replacement. It also came with new bushings to replace the OEM ones that are worn out and cracking. After a few weeks I&#8217;ll decide on if I want to add a rear sway bar to go with it. I can&#8217;t believe I didn&#8217;t take pics of the install itself but I&#8217;ll get some up soon. Here some pictures comparing the oem vs. the Tanabe one though.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7455\" href=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/2011\/08\/11\/the-fd-got-a-stiffy\/swaybar01\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7455\" title=\"swaybar01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"717\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar01.jpg 717w, https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar01-149x200.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar01-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7456\" href=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/2011\/08\/11\/the-fd-got-a-stiffy\/swaybar02\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7456\" title=\"swaybar02\" src=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar02.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar02-200x149.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/swaybar02-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>-D<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I installed a Tanabe Front Sway bar on my FD RX7 and I couldn&#8217;t be happier with the results.
