I was wondering if anyone here has installed or knows of someone who has installed the Titanium Series Shock Tower Brace from Comptech. I'm under the impression that Comptech makes very good products for Honda-Acura. Here is a link to the product I'm referring to:

If anyone has installed this product or other aftermarket replacements for the stock shock tower brace I'd appreciate opinions on how much/how little it improved handling on your TSX or any other general impressions. I know there are other ones from DC Sports etc, but I'm thinking about going with the Comptech unit mostly due to the company's reputation. I also think it would be a fairly good beginner DIY project since I'm no professional car mechanic and installing this seems to just be a matter of making sure the thing is seated and put together correctly and the bolts are torqued down to the correct lbs-ft.

 

I would say the front strut makes the handling feel tigther and crisp and is a good mod to do... but maybe not for the $300+ the CompTech costs. I 'd say the $100 Neuspeed (DC Sports doesn't make one AFAIK) has the same qualities as the CompTech, but the CT looks gorgeous.

I'd say do the rear sway first, that has a bigger impact IMO

 

The Comptech strut bar is a nice piece to look at and replaces the stock bar perfectly. However, don't expect it too much to improve the performance over the stock bar. Installation is fairly easy. Removing the stock bar requires more work than the Comptech bar installation. Another alternative is to add on the Neuspeed bar without removing the stock one. The Neuspeed bar is much cheaper.

 

Just do a search eeyore (just reminds me of for some reason), Duzy just got his in, seems to like it.

JTso, so the Neuspeeds just go over the stocks?

 

You can see the OEM bar in there as well. Actually the CompTech is the only replacement bar, the others Neuspeed, Spoon, et al go in addition to the OEM.

 

Overlapping good. Replacement bad.

 

I have the Comptech installed and it looks nice but as others have mentioned the handling gains are barely noticable.

 

So the front struts shouldn't have that large of an impact on performance right?
