matching a Comptech RSB
With a Comptech rear Sway bar, what is the best match in the front of the car
to minimize body roll, while improving performance?
Does the Neuspeed Front Upper Tie Bar sound like a good fit?

No need to do anything up front. Increasing the stiffness of the front sway bar will increase understeer. The upper tie bar might improve steering response a little but it doesn't help with roll.

yeah, what dan said.
most people don't realize that larger bar reduces net traction at that
end. When the stock TSX is understeering, you put in a larger rear
bar like comptech, to reduce the traction of the rear to better match
the front.
Alternatively to reduce stock understeer, a smaller front bar would d,
but with increased roll which is not suitable for the tsx.
Best way to reduce roll is lowering, lowering the center of gravity above the
roll axis. Since the comptech rear bar gets you dead neutral, there shouldn't be any reason to change the front bar.
