Howdy folks! So I just got my NF210 springs installed for me, I dont have a driveway which sucks, and I am looking at continuing the suspension job. I would like to continue with Tanabe and have so far come across

- Tanabe Sustec Front Strut Bar TTB129F
- Tanabe Sustec Under Brace TUB129F

Have I said I am just getting around to learning about automobiles...I am a computer person per say

With that said I have looked but haven't found a sway bar by Tanabe for a 09 xB...is their one that for some reason is impossible to find online?

Should I even worry about it?

I see they have stabalizers on thier site but nothing for a xB...so whats up?

I appreciate any help/guidance you can cane give me.

One last nugget of info is I am going to rock the NF210 until I feel comfortable then I am dropping with the DF210....ohhhh yeah!

^^^ Sweet man, that is a response with a quickness and I really appreciate it.... so many parts and so little know how.... I guess I am looking for some knowledge as well with direction... I am guessing from what I have read.. the strut bar will stop the towers from moving independently ....and the under brace will reinforce the the chasis...blah blah blah...is their anything I am missing?

Help is appreciated and if you see me in a bar hit me up and I will let the bartender buy you a drink I know a few bartenders

from what ive gathered, the strut bar makes a huge difference in handling. the under brace will work fine with the nf210's installed, BUT, i hear they hang too low and scrape when running df210's.

Thanks for the info man that helps me a lot believe it or not....strut bar good....under brace bad when slammed

Your out of luck my friend if you expect Tanabe to make one of the most dramatic difference maker for our suspension witch is sway bars, they get rid of some of that body roll. There are two choices you can go with, hotchkis witch is front & rear sways( I have these). You also have the trd redesigned sways. For the money, you can find the hotchkis for about the same price as the trd.

^^Thanks, I thought I was just going mad not finding Tanabe sway bars. I was looking at the Hotchiks before, the stage 1 TVS, but decided no to as I got the Tanabe springs on the cheap.

So I guess I am going for a...Tanabe strut bar and Hotchiks sway bars....that is unless there are any more suggestions

[kostonjohn]

Ummm make your own sways cause those are the only two manufacturers at this time.

[help23]

ohhhhh....I like that, my brother would have a field day trying to make something....only problem is it would either be bad ass or just f'd up

sounds good to me. i honestly think its your best bet for a great set up.

I have the tanabe under brace and running df210 and I scraped it a couple of times. If you take the speed bumps slow and at a angle you should be ok. If you stay with the nf210 you should be fine.
