What the hell are they for (Sway Bars, Strut Bars)?
I've decided my CLS has a little too much body roll. What is the difference between Sway bars and Strut Bars? Which should I get first?
I'm also changing out my Comptech Springs (for Sale if anyone wants them) for H&R OE Sport to give it a more even look. Do you think I'll have too much gap with 225/40/18s?
Thanks for you input.

Strut Tower Brace connects both strut towers to make the chassis more ridgid. That means less twisting under load.
Sway bars connect both suspensions and distributes power to the other side when side is under load. The general concept is trying to keep the suspension flat during cornering.
The most noticeable improvement will come from the sway bars (they go for about 300 dollars new for Comptech). STB is more for looks, as our cars come standard with a 4-point STB from the factory. It's plenty effective the way it is.

comptech sway bars and neuspeed strut tower bar.
You won't see them on the CL unless you get on your hands and knees
Spending extra cash for color is worthless.

Yeah, it's hard to find places that know what they're doing and care about what they're doing here in Miami. Depending on the type of work you're looking to get done, you may want to check out Rick Case Acura and see if you can work somethign out price-wise with them. They will be a bit on the expensive side, but what do you expect from an Acura dealer.
