Default ADDCO Rear Swaybar

Anyone try this? It's a 7'8 inch bar with all hardware and made specifically for 1990 to 1997 Lexus LS 400's.
If anyone has installed one could you tell me how the install went and how the handling was improved ,,or not. I am hoping it is a big improvement in the lean department on cornering but also hope it doesn't ruin the ride.
Any thoughts or experience would be great.
Thanks

Lol! Ok thanks for that. You guys like the swaybar or what is the poop on this thing now. Does it change the ride quality much? I saw the thread is quite a few years old now.
Thanks for your patience!

I installed it on my 95 a few years ago - works well. Since yours is newer perhaps you will not need to do the following like I did:

(1) The end link holes on bar are too small inks were to accommodate end link studs. Simply drill them out to make a larger opening.
(2) The brackets that bolt to the underside of the chassis have holes that do not align properly. Simply drill new holes to align bracket.

That was it - installed in 30 minutes or so

I installed mine 2 years ago on a 91 and still love it. Instead of drilling out the brackets I had just called addco and they sent me out new ones free of any charge.
