Is the tanabe four bolts or two?

Do you have a part # or link handy?

I am new to the mods on this car. My car has been in a fender bender so adjustment may be a good call. Car tracks well. I cannot wait to put the sway bar on. The freeway is wobbly in the wind.

Thanks for the heads up.

Tanabe part number should be: NST45.
I got mine from RHDJapan.

Hello Mitch. Did you install the bar yet?
Is there a difference?

No I ran out of time and didn't get around to installing the strut bar. Its on the list lol.

Planning a wedding eats up alot of time.

On the other hand, my exhaust came in from Japan so I get to install that too at some point

did you get a "cat back" exhaust? Good luck with the wedding.

Here is the strut bar, fits like a glove. Mounting the brackets is a pain, there isn't enough clearance between the bolt and strut assembly for a socket/extension so it requires alot of patience but other than that it fit perfectly. Might be easier if you remove the wiper cowl but I did not.

It looks nice. A whole lot of Quarter turns... sucky! I will probably drop the strut. The 2015s had a recall for the strut bearings. So I will check them. Your car looks good!

Did you "tune" the front end or just put the bar in snug?

You're supposed to snug up the bar while the front wheels are still off the ground so thats what I did. IMO its more of a show piece than an "upgrade" for normal driving, it seems to help with body roll when you're cornering hard though, especially coupled with the TRD rear sway bar.
