Don't our CLs come stock with one? Or is that metal bar across the engine called something else?

And whats the difference between a sway bar, strut bar, and control arm?

The strut bar is the one on top, between the two shocks. The sway bars go underneath the car and connect the two control arms together (i think). Our cars have sway bars but they are hollow and not as thick. Thicker sway bars would eliminate a lot of body roll. I wonder if you could fit the Suspension Technique ones for the accord to there. I think Casper has them.

Thanks for helping me out, i am actually going to call Acura Customer relations, the REAL relations. My sister's friends is a service manager at the biggest Acura dealer in RI, and he gave me the tech'c number. Sooo, hopefully sometime soon I will have a cross referenced number for the 3.0 cat back, and if accord sways will fit on ours!

Ding... yes the Accord 94-97 Accord.. I believe those youears only came iin 4 bangers (NOT 100%)... either way its the same...

The help alot.. if you have a full suspension (shocks/springs or coilovers) you will see no body roll... If you are stock... you will see lil dipping and increased tire roll!!!

the emblem Isanded and painted FLAT BLACK to match the stock grille! Simple and effective!

The tech guys I've been working with have been trying to figure out why the endlinks keep breaking. I told them they should start working on one with stronger, thicker endlinks. This should solve the problem.
I'll let you know more as the project progresses.

BTW: Welcome to the forum ding!
Oh yeah, if you need anything else check the post at the top of the page. If what yu want isn't there just tell me and I'll try to get it
