U can check it out on www.autocarparts.com for Comptech sway bar for $108 dollar with $25 dollar for shipping. For Neuspeed front strut tie at $149.95 and tell them that you want red neuspeed logo, go to www.neuspeed.com and they offer free shipping. The front strut tie come with yellow neuspeed logo on it and htey gave you a free red neuspeed logo. I already replaced it myself. That's where I got front strut tie there and plan to order Comptech rear sway bar this week or next week.

Here's info on the rear sway:
Street Image in CA 626.962.1503 (Jimmy is the guy that took care of me) for $115 shipped.
I got this from another thread. There are a few Comptech Rear Sway bar threads going on right now. Take alook at those.
I'm not sure how much of a difference the Neuspeed Front Upper Strut tie bar will make. The Tsx does already have a factory one.

Sorry, forgot to ask this on my first post. I am aware there are two kinds of Injen Intakes: the RD and the IS. Which one is more popular and gives better results? Where can I get a good deal for this?
Thanks for referring me to Street Image, Inc. I will definitely buy the Comptech rear sway from them. Any ideas on a better price for the Neuspeed front tie?

U got a good deal from Ebay, I wonder if you got black or polished, if you got polished then it is very good deal. I got polished thru Neuspeed.

Don't really know there would be a big difference, they both add on to the stock unit, meaning two bars.

I liked the front strut, it tightens up the steering and makes it feel really nice. For a good price I think its worth it, but the CompTech is a little too much IMO for what it does.

I'd be interested in participating if we could set up a GB for front upper strut bars from either Spoon, Comptech, or Neuspeed (in that order by preference).
Do you think you could get the ball rolling?

I think that Speed Image gets just about anything on the market for our posters. Put a PM in their direction in addition to domn's to see what our options may be.

I'd be in for a Spoon front strut group buy. I know AJR has them, but again, unless the vendors can come through on it we members are SOL.
for the good old days

Get a hold of Street Image and see what they can do. Like I mentioned before, the powers that be will always recommend that the sponsors get the dibs on GBs.

We can do a group buy, just can't be advertised on the forum. Street Image has some good stuff every now and then but you can always find something cheaper on eBay, the problem is availibility. Your best bet is.
Look up a vendor that sells Neuspeed parts on eBay, ask him how much he'll sell if payment is made out of eBay (avoiding him charges which = discount for you) then contact members who are interested and get a buy going. If they advertise directly on the board that'll cost them money which I'm sure won't give us a great deal. I'm all for sponsorship of the forum but I'd much rather save some money.

Blue color?????
What you may have seen was the protective wrap on the bar to prevent scratches to the metal. Nothing blue about it. Lemme go snap a few pics for you guys.

On this last pic, you can see how it squeezes up against the A/C lines. That is the only bad thing about this bar. I don't have any problems, but it made it a bit tricky with the installation.
