im guessing your talking about the REAR sway bar. and your answer is yes if someone is paying attention to the rear suspention. usually the newer aftermarket rear sway bars come with the tie bar. and u can see that. aftermarket LCA's are good. IMO suspension bling is

They won't notice the sway bar. It's the tie bar.

dude just get the progress....by far best bang for the buck sway/tie bar. Unless you're some hardcore auto-x guru.

you can see your rear bar pretty easily and any subframe braces or lca's as well, unless you have a diffuser like me :-D

I think i might be going with the Hotchkis f&r sway kit I found it for 260 bucks seems like a good deal, from what ive heard hotchkis is a reputable brand. With either the spoon or dc lower tie bar.
