Hi guy,
i have a couple question to ask you all.
first is that compare rear sway bar, front sway bar, and strut bar. which one is the best effective one for my tsx?

second question is that, if I want to buy it , what brand is the best choice for me?

and the last question is that? there will be no superchager for 07 and auto tran right?

thank you

 

hello.

rear sway bar is most effective.

front sway bar is least effective.
the stock front sway bar is good, does not need to be changed.
strut bar is effective, but not as much as the rear sway bar.

FEEL'S makes the best strut bars.
Cusco makes the most popular strut bars.

Progress makes the best rear sway bar.


when you replace your rear sway bar, it's best to upgrade the
bushings and also to isntall adjustable links.

do you need links for products? well if so, they are below.

^check it all out.



as for the Supercharger.
there most likely will be one for the 07 Auto.
but there is not one right now.
maybe in another year or two it will be ready.

 

Thank you for your answers.
I think I will go with all the list of the sway bar that you recommended.
For the strut bar, what kind are you using now?
between these 2 which one you recommend?

 

I am using the crazy expensive FEEL'S Carbon Power Rod.

but really there's no need to buy that one.

best performance for the money is actually the Neuspeed bar.

this is a one piece steel bar that is inexpensive yet very effective.

the Cusco bar has a nice bling factor for the money.
it's not too expensive at all, the blue mounting brackets are a nice
blue and the bar is a nice polished aluminium.

the FEEL'S bars are mainly for looks and reputation (JDM bling factor).
they probably function about the same as the rest, but most of their
bars are made from carbon fiber, not metal, for the bar itself.


it all depends on the direction of the car.
do you care about reputation and "bling?"
do you care what country the part comes from?
are you looking for best performance for the money (value)?

there's a bar for each circumstance.

 

The rear sway bar will get you the most bang for your buck. Progress is the best option and it is 22mm and adjustable.

I drive JDM Euro R, so my answers maybe a little off what most drive a TSX.

We have found the reasr sway bars were "too thick, resulting a greater tendency to fish-tail". Instead we stuck with our stock sway bars for the Euro R set up. Then again, depending which suspensions were used, as most of us used Japs models. The geometry set up becomes a important parameter if you actually lowered your car and then what sway bars will be techcnially competent. This applies for the front sway bars too.

As for front strut, besides what the other recommend, consider Spoon Strut ones. CUSCO had this niggling problem that the aircond pipe had to be shifted slightly for us. Small issue. I used the CUSCO and then got the Spoon and created a DIY Brake drum stopper. Useful as it added a much better system for the steel braided hoses. Thus, my recommendation to you is to get a Strut bar that has a brake drum stopper too.

 

I have yet to felt any fishtail and I drive pretty aggressively. =[

 

Are the power links absolutely necessary? They cost almost $200. Is it safe/ok to just install the Progress Bar and the bushings? Are the bushings a must as well?

 

The Powerlinks are by no means a necessity. The majority of TSX owners on these forums with the Progress RSB do not run them. The bushings are necessary because the OEM 15mm (or is it 17mm?) bar's bushings will be too small for the 22mm Progress bar. They should be packaged with the Progress RSB if I remember correctly... I think mine were.

 

+1 for progress.

the change in handling is great. i didn't change my endlinks.

i emailed ct-engineering once about superchargers hoping it would shed some light on whether or not a reflash would be in the works for 07/08's. they said there are plans for making it an option for those years in the future, but had no timetable. they also didn't specify if it'd be for MT's only or both AT's and MT's. so if they're saying that, there has to be some sort of reflash in the horizon. way, way off in the horizon.

 

Mine is coming by mail right now
