If you haven't paid for it yet, don't.

Make sure you grab a rear HD mount also like cusco / AVO.

Well I did my rear sway bar to eliminate as much under steer as possible. So if you upgrade the front as well it will just be encouraging under steer again.

I'm sure technically speaking it would be a better handling car with both done. But I prefer less under steer.

Plus with the H6 I remember someone saying you need to drop the headers or something similar to install the front sway bar. Too much effort for my liking.

That's interesting. If the headers need to be dropped I'd definitely steer clear of that one.
Would love someone to confirm that though

Alright cool,

Well I'll start with the rear sway and hd mounts. Sounds like that's the way to go.

Headers do indeed need to be dropped to change front swaybar on the H6.

+1 for rear only.

Would u consider just doing the rear sway also for the turbo variants or does understeer not happen as much with the turbos?

I assume cusco/avo hd mounts will fit with the whiteline adjustable sway bar I'm planning to buy?

I would say (without confirmation) yes it should fit the whiteline and even your stock sway with either of those mounts Jay.
