RoW 030 sway bar installation on a 2.5L 5spd.

While @ IPB today I had them take care of my air leak & I had them install the RoW 030 2.5L 5spd front sway bar. F.Y.I. the "s" front sway bar is the same as the 2.5L RoW 030. Now for everyone who is afraid of spinning out by adding sway bars,fear no more. I really like the new slightly adjusted handling feel after the install. The new front sway bar took away some(read not all) understeer in the handling,but not too much,keep in mind I still want to be able to drive it everywhere under any condition. The bar didn't transform the suspension into some monster that I'm afraid to drive,it's still very drivable and very predictable! It was a nice little mod that I will be glad to keep!

Cost of parts/labor;
OEM RoW 030 2.5L 5spd/"S" front sway bar - $50
Labor,1 hour - $98

Finally the car idles how it should(800 RPM steadily), and no more air leak!
