What does the adjustment do? Camber? Or just stiffen the ride?

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

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.

That looks great. Did it improve your handling?

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?
