I would say no, unless you just have the extra money or really want the flatter cornering feel...the front did not help with grip or turn in feel, it does nothing to reduce understeer. Let's say for example that the rear bar is a 100% improvement in the feel of the car, the front to me feels like around 15%. That's just my opinion though...when I put the rear on, I was extremely happy with the results, without the rear bar on I would have sold the car. After putting the front on, I was like meh, it might be a little better, I guess...it is just nowhere close to the amount of difference the rear bar makes. The rear is an absolute must have though, at least for '08 and older cars!

So I installed my front sway bar and noticed that my bar doesn't have a little bracket to mount this piece on. I temporarily zip tied it so it won't rub onto the brack line. I also noticed that the "AFS off" flashes intermittently. Has anyone run into this problem?

piece missing
Yes I had that exact problem, they sent you the wrong bar. I had to return it and have them send me the correct one. The one they sent me was for the convertible... the bracket is for attaching the height sensor, I know your auto leveling headlights won't level correctly without it, I don't know what else it affects though...

swaybar makes huge difference
