Default F-sport sway bar: does it matter if it's up-side-down?

I just got done putting my sway bar on and as I was tightening the final bolts I realized that the F-sport was up-side-down. The sway seemed symmetric when I took it out of the box and put the bushings on it, so I don't know if it really makes a difference, but I thought I'd ask and see. I don't particularly want to take it off and flip it 180 if I don't have to

So to answer my own question, I'd say yes it does. I undid it and redid it and it definitely fits differently.

It's pretty easy. The F-sport was upside down after attaching them.

don't think it makes a difference, but it probably makes you feel better knowing it's in the proper direction.

It's funny, but I noticed a slight fitment difference when I lined everything up the right way. Might just be my imagination, but whatevers, at least I know it's on right now

Holy crap. .... this mod is a MUST do. I was somewhat skeptical, but I threw this on and just got back from an hour joyride. This is so right, must have for everyone. I can toss the car, and it doesn't feel like a boat anymore. Anyways, just had to throw that out here

This can now get merged with the official f-sport thread lol

It doesn't make a difference in functionality, only aesthetics.

Really??? Please explain yourself...larger sways help reduce chassis flex and body roll, so please let us know how this mod does nothing...

LOL...my bad everyone...I thought K3RRY was saying that the sway bar does nothing, not that it being upside down doesn't matter...
