As have many here, I finally installed Ron's swaybar on my 2012 RS-S which allegedly had an "upgraded" bar compared with the GS/RS. Installation was uneventful and the instructions were spot on.
Took it for a ride in the twisties to the North Shore today and the results were subtle but noticeable:
1. Steering is much more responsive--the turn starts as soon as you tweak the bars with no pause or hesitation
2. It's not overly twitchy but responsive as "on rails."
3. I just pick the line through the corner, turn in and hold--no mid-turn adjustments necessary.
4. It's very conducive to getting bold in corners!
5. Noticed that crosswinds affect the tracking much less.
Might be psychological, but I highly recommend this upgrade.
P.S. Have stock 2012 RS-S sway bar with stock end links available for the price of shipping!
