which sway bars to get?
Eibach or Comptech?
What does everyone think?

 

I got neither...but if I had to choose between the two, I'd get the Eibach.

 

I'd get the Eibach as well.

 

eibach over comptech? thats a first....

 

Comptech

 

Never thought I'd see it either.

 

 

Comptechs are the way to go.

 

Comptech all the way.....

 

what is the difference between em

 

Stock Front = 27mm (Hollow)
Type-S Rear = 19mm SOLID
Type-P Rear = 18mm SOLID

Comptech front = 27mm Hollow
Comptech rear = 22mm Solid

Eibach Front = 27mm (unverified)
Eibach Rear = 23mm Solid

Neuspeed Front = 27mm SOLID
Neuspeed Rear (Race) = 25mm SOLID



*Note...if you have to ask, then you are NOT ready to make an educated decision. (I'm not knockin on Comptech...they make great stuff...but when it comes to sway bars, they're only my 3rd choice)

 

Edgalang,
Its important to note that comptech's front bar is the same outer diameter but a smaller inner diameter (thicker tubing).

By the way my vote goes to Comptech. I have them and love them

 

I've heard this too...but I was never sure, since the bars were never cut open (just weighed). Either way, people who's had Comptech's and weighed it said that the difference in weight between the stock bar and Comptech's were negligible. It's been about 3 years and I'm still *iffy on the subject.

 

Eibach, thast what im gonna get

 

so u want the bars to be heavier??

 

there's no one on the board who's tried them both.. so you can't really come to a comparitive conclusion.
but the fact is, anyone who has either of the three are all satisfied with their selection.

i'm also in the market for some sways, but i think i'm just going to go with the numbers and spend a little more and go eibach.
also these days i've been experiencing the phenomenon: 'you get what you pay for'. but i'm sure you'll be happy either way.

 

comptech

 

i would rather have the comptech but i would sport the eibach too.

 

just curious but has anybody checked
into the suspension techniques bars?
the list a rear adj bar for the tl
w.stracing.com

 

i just got some neuspeed sways, because i think that since suspension is what neuspeed specializes in, they should be good, and just to be different from the majority of cl's that use comptech. just got them today w/ my order of tein ss, but not yet installed.

 

Wow! I didn't know Neuspeed had solid 27mm front and 25mm rear. I would have to choose Neuspeed from the 3 choice. I currently have Comptech and I didn't feel it much. I need stronger sway bar.

 

Yes...I did major research before purchasing my sways 2 more years ago. The Suspension Techniques was made for the Accord. The stats on those bars are...

Front = 27mm (Hollow)
Rear = 19mm (Solid)

Ever since the Type-S came out, the need to buy Suspension Techniques droped, since you can buy the OEM bars for HALF the price.

 

Be careful when purchasing Neuspeed, because there is 2 different rear bars you can buy. The mainstream one is 19mm while the uncommon one is 25mm, both being solid bars. There is NO use in buying the 19mm bar UNLESS you were a CL-P/TL-P or an Accord. The 25mm bar is the thickest bar that has ever come out for the cars listed and is rarely talked about.

 

comptech

 

Any problems noted with running a 25mm thick rear bar? Torsion or body flexing problems? I'd be worried with a bar that thick.

I have a car running a 28mm bar and that sucker snaps the car so well but I"m afraid of doing any frame damage.

 

well its ez... if you dont know which1 to get b/w comptech and eibach...get the cheaper one and save tht money u saved towards some struts or sport springs...but me i'm changing my comming soon decision from comptech sways to nuespeed...they are thicker

 

I've heard of that very scenario in the past pertaining to the Nuespeeds.

 

imma prder some comptechs this week

 

got the comptech...getting installed tommorow

 

let me know how ya like em

 

Nope...and there are others running with the Neuspeed 25mm bar as well (just not very many). The most common ACL user I know that uses them is kritikadeo.

As far as frame damage....I haven't heard of any yet, nor on any TL/CL board. Perhaps you are referring to the endlink rods? Keep in mind they are made to snap BEFORE any frame damage occurs...and there are some Comptech users who's snapped them as well. THe only way I could think of damaging the frame is if you replace the OEM endlink rods with unbreakable steel ones.

 

Neuspeed all the way.

Neuspeed Front = 27mm SOLID
Neuspeed Rear (Race) = 25mm SOLID

Had these for about a year and a half and 30k miles. No problems or frame damage whats so ever. And i dont baby the car either, in other words making hard turns with these sway bars kick ass.

 

CompTech

 

I was gonna offer u aride in my cl with eibach, but i see u already made up ur mind. By the way I live in the SFV too

 

agui, where in the SFV are u located??

 

i can't seem to get a search anywhere on the Neuspeed 25mm solid rears...

when you said uncommon... are you saying its rare and not commerically available anymore? I don't see it at Neuspeed's website either.

 

hmmm...weird. I just did a search on the ATL board using "neuspeed 25mm" and found plenty of good info.

 

And um...you can try a "neuspeed 25mm" search over at the A C U R A W O R L D site too.

 

what kind of installation quotes are u guys getting??
