Comptech sway bars and springs make a difference?
For those of you who have performed this mod, did it make a noticable difference?
My 2003 TL-S seems to handle pretty well. Would the upgrade be worth the $$$ ??
Thanks.

I am getting the Cusco front and front lower...Cusco does not make the rear sway. The CT sways are definitely worth it. Everyone who has them has nothing but good things to say. Keep in mind that it would be good to upgrade the tires to some max performance tires also.

This is the 4th thread you've mentioned "a planned purchased of" cusco tie bars when the topic specifically stated opinions on springs/sways. Get it right...STRUT BARS/TIE BARS are NOT SWAY BARS! 
Go to the local meet and I'll point out the difference.
(FYI: do a search on username: snapple & keyword: cusco and you'll know what I mean)
P.S.
Here is an example thread.

Where and how much were your H&R Sport springs?
Self-install? Or Pro?
Does it void warranty? Mine's a lease, and I want to put it all back when I turn it in.

I had only H&R sports springs for awhile and it rode great. Some people complain that it's too harsh but I think it's just fine. I just got comptech sways put on a couple weeks back and it drives even better. It definitely makes a difference in the turns. It's a nice complement to the springs.

AegeanTypeS - I got the springs from a friend... but they're not expensive retail... this site sells them for $170. Install was $200, but you're in Florida where you probably have a better selection of shops. You can probably get it done for around $100-$150 or so.
No mod voids your warranty.. so you'll be OK ( http://www.acura-tl.com/faq.htm#8 ). Just keep in mind that to put the stock springs back on you'll have to pay for another install.....

juniorbean, doesnt springs put more pressure on the shocks, and decrease their life drastically? i am sure the dealer wouldnt be excited about that one.

Put springs and sways on and don't look back. You will not regret it a day in your life. Yes, you may have to replace shocks down the road, but live for today!!!! I love mine.

It's so ironic that you say this when I was specifically quoting Snapple and responding to him and not you.
This is my point exactly...some people just DONT READ! BTW...we are probably going to see each other in person during the next bay area meet (in 3 days) so I'd like to keep the internet arguments as minimal as possible. So...I'll take that statement as a compliment since I DO read posts VERY carefully before I post. I just wish others would do the same to save time and BW.

peiqinglong: I agree...it's just that peeps can get so emotional over the internet so I'm just trying to be safe (insert paranoid smiley here). Besides...we haven't disagreed about anything yet...only miscommunication. :p
