Yes, but the front and middle bars only!
Here is my reviews
My car optioned with Dynamic Drive, so its complete stock set up on the chassis.
If your car has DD (Dynamic Drive), you are only able to fit the front and the middle bars, the rear bar was obstructed by the DD mechanism so no way you can install it.
Performance:
-The whole car feels alot more "solid", you will notice the differences even on straight line.
-More stable when you go over the bump/rough road, the chassis feels more stiffer.
-The car is now more controllable and much less body roll, i live in somewhere near the twisky mountain roads, so its great way to see how these bars perform. It transforms the car! I am not a professional driver, but you will definitely feel the whole car has stiffen up and give you more confident when attacking the corners.
Ride:
-The bars didnt ruin the ride, unlike the sway bars, these ultra racing bars are not attached with your wheels, so on the bumpy rough road, it will not affect the ride quality at all. The only thing i noticed is the car mow feels more solid and the road feedback is so genuine.
Does it worth it?
-Big YES for me!!
-I didnt hope much in the beginning as i think 3 bars will not do much on the handling just like the tower bar i fitted a year ago, but i am wrong! My car feels much more solid and more controllable now, even i only had two bars installed and not all three they suggested.
Cheers

I would recommed this mod to anyone!
You are not neccessary to drive fast to feel the benefit!
You can feel the differences even on straight line
The cornering performance increased dramatically
The ride quality wasnt affected
Not too expensive mod but well worth it
Also thanks Capt 16 for helping me out!
