Sway bars make a HUGE difference. Best dollar-for-dollar mod available for the CL-S. Absolutely no regrets.
Plus, now I have a new pull-up bar!
Wow, Accord peeps will buy our old crap? Why? The Accord have even crappier stock sways?

IMO, it was more noticeable than the springs, especially in sweeping or tight turns.

No biggie
When you take the rear sway out, your gonna laugh your ass off at the difference in size... The front sway was a dissapointment, it seemed to be the same, but other Cler's were saying the new Comptech front sway is thicker ... I dunno, the stock sway felt and looked the same...but the rear is really different and beefy.

Yeah, they help hold the body down on the inside of the turn, I'd have wished for a little more help. Can't do springs as my beater knees say this car is low enough.

A good set of sway bars will change your ride dramatically! I put a set on my 1994 chevrolet c1500 pickup standard cab and it can out handle most of my friends cars (91 civic, 02 Malibu, 97 protege). It litterally has no sway and I can make very sharp right turns at 35mph. Get them!

Sways rule, but make the stock tires howl even more. Get Toyos immediately after.
