Not sure who carries it but I believe you can get it directly from sikky's website but I'm not 100% on that. I got the first one and love it!!!

I have it too, it's night and day you will love it. Don't go to the race settting without coil overs that are set up for the track. It's to stiff and makes the car over steer and kick out way to easily. The second setting is perfect.

I lubed the bushings well and set the preload on the end links as is done in the direction and have had no problems. I've tried all the settings. 1 is like the f sport. 2 is very noticeable but not to much for a stock suspension or lowering springs. The third is very ver tight. The back of the car does not move, I highly recommend properly set up coilovers to be on the 3rd race setting. I am extremely happy with the product and the changes it has made to the cars performance

^^^^ you will not be dissapointed. IMO the best rear sway bar on the market for the F. Very high quality in all aspects. You will notice it so much in high speed stability switching lanes and turning, entering and exiting corners. Really keeps the car much flat-er and more stable just in general. You will be very happy.
