Hopefully not too late, but make sure you fit your bushings. When putting a front bar on my car, the car suddenly got very pushy, ride went downhill, and I lost a lot of braking performance. The (poly) bushings were pinching the bar so tight it wouldn't rotate, essentially making it work like a lever spring rigidly attached to the chassis.

30 seconds with a belt sander and I regained my front grip. HUGE difference. Since then I do this on every bar I install, favoring slightly loose over slightly tight. I also put a wrap of teflon pipe tape over the bar where it rides in the bushing.

My $.02, ymmv, and all that jazz.
