Does anyone have this? I am looking at buying one and they;re pretty cheap...
Just wondering if anyone had one...how does it feel?
Not really lookin at spending the $$ for a comptech

Im going to pair them with Neuspeed sport springs if that matters?


Thanks

 

Had the polished one since 2000. It works fine. (not pics of my car)

 

Iv never drove a car with strut and sway bars. Can you honestly tell a difference with them installed? And is it worth it for normal driving?

 

strut barely does anything on our cars from what i heard.

but from experience of my eibach sways (thickest rear one on the market ibelieve) it's a night and day difference. trust me, you'll love sway bars. i love mine... buy subtledreamer's sways i helped install them when he got them like 2 months ago. my suggestion is to go canyon running right before install, and go again after.. see the difference and you'll love it.

one of the must have installs if you like taking those tight turns.

 

Anything that helps tighten up the chassis is good.

I have

Neuspeed upper front strut bar
Cusco LSB
Comptech sways

They make a huge difference.

 

Sounds like I should get some sways instead.
On my accord I had everyting
front/reat, upper and lower and that thing handeld wayy better than this thing does...
OEM suspension on this car feels like im driving a boat..lol

looks like ill put a APB on eibach sways

 

I've got the Nuespeed STB and the steering response is slightly improved. I got the stb before the sways.

 

how much is the Nuespeed stb and where's the best place to pick em up?

 

EDIT: Forgot Ex does sell them.

 

our dealer has them for like $125 shipped i think? excelerate performance has them PM him they make a polished one

If I had to buy one, sway bar either front or rear which one should I get?

thanks for the link big lizard!

 

rear makes the most difference, but it'll be hard to find just rear though. PM subtledreamer, his is in good condition.

strut will be my next suspension upgrade i believe... i wonder if having both neuspeed and comptech makes a difference... which is better?

neuspeed
comptech
or cusco strut

 

sorry but i just bought subtledreamer' set. hope it was worth it

 

damm you! haha jk
the nopi link someone posted earlier you can buy either or!

check out

nopionline.com or something like that, they have individual sways for sale

 

Get the Progress RSB for the 3rd Gen TL. It's thicker than the Eibach (24mm vs. 23mm) and the handling is night and day compared to our puny 19mm OEM RSB. I bought one from Excelerate/Josh for $140 + shipping and paypal fees and IMO it's the best single suspension upgrade you can make. Don't worry, even though it says it's for 3rd gen. TL's, it fit my CL-S perfectly. I'd go ahead and buy some upgraded endlinks as well, I went with the Moog's which are not only thicker, but also have grease fittings. Got'em from www.rockauto.com for $18/ea...way nicer than the $120 Acura OEM links.

BTW, I had the Neuspeed STB and sold it because I didn't notice any difference in handling, although it did look cool in the engine bay.

 

2CLean thanks!!
ill look into that,,,,so the Progress RSB and end links?
I think ill do them the same time I do my neuspeed sport springs!

thanks everyone for your comments and knowledge!!!!

 

Summitracing.com has the Eibach rear antiroll bar for $110 and $30 for the bushing kit (really good urethane bushings w/ lube) you'll need to install it (oh and10 bucks s&h fee).

 

didn't know that the 3rd gen TL rear sway can fit... damn.. haha

sways are the best suspension upgrade that you'll feel..

i feel like the top front strut is more for looks, it does have effect don't get me wrong. but say a ct strut is outrageously over priced for a small effect.

 

Same here. But the combo of the sway & STB make a big difference

 

i removed the stock bar and i'm only running the neuspeed bar and 04+TL comptech rear sway bar, w/ polyurethane bushings front/rear... couldn't be happier. i see no point to go through the effort of dropping the front bar for an aftermarket one.

 

i THINk the front is the same or close to the thickness in both oem and aftermarket. so don't even bother.. haha

ct vs ns strut bar

 

thanks eveyone for your imput..im gonna but the rear sway bar for the 3g TL and drop it on neuspeed sport springs

what cha think?

 

^can't go wrong with that setup (at least the Progress RSB). The front OEM and most after market FSB's are 27mm hollow steel, the difference is in the wall thickness. I didn't feel it was necessary, since I wanted my car to oversteer a little, or at least be more neutral. A fatter front bar IMO would only increase the CL's tendency to understeer.

 

can i install the sway bar myself? or do i need a lift?

 

Yes, you can do this yourself.

 

u'll need to jack ur car up, USE JACK STANDS... and you can diy.

it's a bit tricky getting the old out and new in

 

i'm doing them myself. in the process of sanding them down and re-painting them black so they don't stand out.

 

yeah i can spot them from under my car sometimes, but it's not a big deal to me.. i just gotta slam it and that'll help =P

 

our cars come with strut bars, Preludes dont. Drive one of your buddys cars that owns one, you can tell a difference.

 

wow two strut tower bars... I bet thats stiff as a champ...

 

are there any rear lower tie bars for our cars?

 

theres a rear swap bar...
as for lower tie bars, I believe this is the only one so far (the front):

 

^^ who makes that?

 

Cusco, Mr Heeltoe sells them.
