Hi guys,

I have a question, does anymore knows if they make after market suspension upgrade for an Acura 2005 RL?
Things such as Strut or Sway bar?

Thanks,

Anaken

no upgrades for sway bars but as far as struts there are 3 options that are known, A_spec stuts and shocks, tein full coilover suspension and H&R full coilover suspension

As far as sway bar is concerned, I think the 2009 factory sway bar is a little bit bigger than the 2005-2008 factory one. I think someone here on the forums has installed one. Just can't recall who it was.

Both the front and rear '09 sway bars are stiffer than the previous model years had, and both fit with the use of the '09 bushings. The rear is a quick swap job, and I've got one. The front, however, is "trapped" by the motor during assembly and cannot be swapped without pulling the zoom zoom box: nearly a thousand to do this at the dealer for a $90 part. I passed on that.

thanks for all the info on this guys...I think I might look into swapping out my rear sway bar....anyone knows of a good place to buy 09 sway bar for a decend price?

Thanks,

I recommend you buy it at your dealer: you won't pay shipping that way and it's large.

Although internet dealers such as Ray Laks used to ship for free, no tax and only a $3.95 handling charge. Some others may have free shipping. You just have to seek three bids to get an idea of the lay of the land (naturally the shipping cost is built into the price at some point-nothing is really ever free-but it becomes evident who is the best deal. Your dealer may want to charge you full MSRP.

With regard to Ray Laks, I say "used to" only because I have not bought anything from them for about 8 months and have not checked the latest terms.

if any you would want the front first then the back.
