I posted on FB this week that honestly I don’t think the front bar is worth the money. I wouldn’t do it again myself.
How hard was the install on the front bar? Doesn't look like there is a ton of room to maneuver it out either side.

Much obliged! What's the name of the Facebook group? I'm in a couple of them for STs but I don't remember seeing a post recently about front sway bars so I'm probably not joined to the right groups lol
I run High Performance Explorer ST with Tyler Clark and occasionally Colton.

Gotta get both front wheels off, part of the belly pan up front and pull a strut out for clearance…then it’ll just barley slide out. It’s kind of a pain in the ass.

that does sound like a pain, thanks for the info. Looks like I’ll stick with the rear sway bar for now.

I’ve said it more than once (probably): for an IRS, if you want to take out any under-steer, a bigger rear bar is all you need, with stiffer shocks and springs out back as well. The front bar is a waste of money. Here’s a chart that will help.
