I recently just had my Tein Street Advance coilovers installed and I'm now looking for anti-roll bars for the front and rear. For those who have it or had it, which ones are good?

Options I see are the Eibach Anti-Roll kit, CT engineering, Progress, ST, and Ultra Racing. Anyone have experience with any of these?

Best is progress, because it's the thickest.
Pretty much look for the thicker ones after that.

What ever you do, dont buy just the rear. Get BOTH. While the car will become more neutral in handling, it does noting for the heavy front from rolling. I have the eibach kit. It made a night and day difference, especially at the track.

As HairyMonkey019 said, most people go with the Progress rear bar. It is one of the thickest ones available, and very high quality. The bar itself is cold formed using precision bending equipment. The bar ends are laser and CNC cut, as well as MIG welded to the bar.

We have great pricing on it and can often price match too if you find a better price at a reputable vendor.

That's why I'm getting both opposed to just the rear.

I was actually just using the Excelerate store to look up sway bars. Do you think a Front Eibach anti-roll bar + a rear Progress bar is a good combo or should I just do the Eibach kit?

Getting the 'biggest' is not always the best bet.

For the difference in size of these bars it will be pretty hard to tell a difference between then, to be honest. It might be a better deal getting the Eibach combo since they will balance the car better, and will ship together more easily when bought as a combo.

Thickness doesn't really matter if you are only talking about the rear which is rather pointless on the nose heavy TL, IMO the Front do all the magic but the rear one balance it all out in the end.

The Eibach combo is hands down the best sway bars here, I might be a little biased since I own them but what ever you do don't buy just the rear one. If you are buying one cuz money is short it's must be the front always and be ready to replace the weak ass stock sway bar links for beefier ones.
There goes my 2cents.

I am not really sure I agree there. Just doing the rear will help the car stay flatter. The TL is long and nose heavy, but just doing a rear bar can really help the car come around in slow corners. Of course the rest of the set up needs to compliment that, but just doing rears is pretty common on most all Honda FWD platforms.

I dunno about the rest of the Honda Family but in my case doing happy track days I noticed the behavior of the TL-S (Bear in mind the TL-S already had thicker sways compared to TL-p) and all the body roll bias clearly benefitted from a Front Sway Bar instead of a Rear One and my TL-S was fully loaded with my Audio system, I just removed the spare tire and jack floor that day.

It won't remove the terrible nose dive when hard APEXing the corner but the turn speed and turn traction was clearly upgraded. I believe the rear sway just complements the front in the TL so there is no end slap when out of corners. So I firmly believe that there is no need for a thicker sway than that what it comes in the Eibach kit.

Well that's just my 2 Cents everyone can take it as it is.

Thanks guys for your input. I will be saving up to purchase the eibach anti-roll bar kit since you highly recommend them. Next time I'll be asking you guys about the 6 speed swap in like a year or two lol

The Eibach kit is a great choice, as it has been mentioned you get the front and rear bars. As Marcus said, just doing the rear bar is very common in the FWD Honda world and can help the car around slow corners.

Keep in mind we are often willing to price match, and would be happy to work with you to get a great setup!
