I had it. Good improvement in handling. I would upgrade the front too, you'll feel a world of difference.

Get a complete kit, (front and rear) you will see a even larger difference.

Is that just for the anti-roll bar (price) or do you get the sub-frame plate as well? for the rear?

I believe that price is just for the rear sway bar and all thing needed to install minus the endlinks.

do they even make the sub-frames for our cars does anyone know i think that they would look sexy as hell on TL's

there is only front frame crossbars available for the TL- upper and lower and they really help in turns--
reason- not a made in jdm car like tsx, which you can buy about 20 stiffening bar segments and turn it into a full racer

the sway bar size can be increased a few mm if you want,, with progress brand or other.
Make sure to replace the crappy stock end link/connectors with MOOG brand,
much better and easier to install

optional- install polyurethane bushings and new end links on stock sway bars for an improvement without giving up all the smooth of the TL

Short answer:
Installed it last Spring. Noticed a difference right away. Rear end felt more planted.

Long answer:
Stock vs. Progress






Replaced my front lower strut bar at the same time. Ripped my old one off on a man hole cover


For reference, the upper strut bar from Cusco


The RSB, lower, & upper strut bars are a "relatively" inexpensive combo of mods where you'll actually notice a performance difference after installing. If you're really concerned about sucking some extra handling from this glorified Honda Accord, I'd look at GOOD tires and a lighter wheel. I realize that's a more expensive investment, but if it's doable, it's also very noticeable.

I carefully chose 17x8 enkei rpf1's.. w/ a quality meaty tire... to absorb the road and add some "bite". They're an 1" taller & 1.5" wider than stock wheels. Yet each wheel/tire combo is 10lbs lighter. 10lbs less rotational mass on each corner of the car. Some people go for the 19's w/ stretched tire -- that's not me... To each their own.
