From what I gathered, the OEM (Factory) specs vs the Comptech sway bars are as follows:

OEM front: 27.2mm tubular with 4.5 mm wall thickness

Comptech front: 27.2mm tubular but with a higher wall thickness (not sure of the # maybe mikeB from comptech can help us here).

OEM rear: 18mm solid (TL)
19mm solid (CL-s)

Comptech rear: 22mm solid

Basically, the comptech front bars are 68% stiffer than the stock TL bars and the rear bars are 131% stiffer than the stock OEM TL bars.

 

Sorry, I don't have wall thickness specs for that bar.

 

i personally would get a set of comptech which is designed specifically for our TL.

 

Suspension Techniques (Not to dissuage anyone from getting the Comptech's) has a set of Sway bars, front and rear for the 6th Generation Accord V6 that will most likely fit our cars.

The Rear is significantly stiffer, and the Front is less still than stock. A good and bad thing.

If you aren't satisfied with the feel of the car after installing just the rear, then you can install the front as well, but from hearing testemonial's from some Accord Owners they've said that the car oversteers too much. Yeah that's right, A big boat of a 3200 lb car was TOO LOOSE with both the Suspension Technique swaybars on.

It's up to you. Suspension Techniques also sells them seperately, just the front, or just the rear. I personally would get both, if it were on my agenda, just to see what it would be like. The TL is inherently a heavier car, thus increasing its polar moment of inertia. We might actually have good use for the front sway bar.

But I guess we'll never know until someone breaks down and gets it.

I just can't wait for my Comptech Sways to come in. There has been enough posts over the months to convince me that this is the best way to go, either with stock or lowered springs.
