Anti-sway Bars

Does anyone make a set of beefier sway bars for our RLs?

I am happy with the suspension as is, but not happy with the tendency of the car to roll in turns. Even though the grip is there.

Thanks

Do you still have the stock springs?
A set of H&R springs instantly cured that problem on my RL.

Stock shocks or aftermarket?

Is the damping well matched to the H&Rs?

I still have the stock struts. All seems fine after about 10,000 miles of driving. I'm extremely happy with both the handling and the ride. Makes the RL feel like more of a sport sedan.
I looked into getting the A-spec suspension from Acura, but they don't sell just the struts... you have to buy the springs also, and I knew I would NOT be happy with the minimal drop they yield (about .75 inch .vs 1.5 with H&R.)
I may purchase the A-spec suspension after some time and swap the struts only (and sell the springs on Ebay.) Either that or go with something from Tokico, Bilstein, etc.
If you're OK with only lowering the car .75 inch, (could be a good thing for some) the A-spec suspension might do the trick for you. A few others on AZ have that kit.

With A spec on my car, and SH-AWD it is fantastic, in fact better on city streets than my NSX.
Much stiffer than A Spec might be too harsh IMO.

I'd have to agree. I also have 19"s and the car handles and rides quite well.
