I opened up the hood of the TL the other day to find a stock strut bar underneath. I was a bit surprised when I saw it, because it was something I have overlooked for a long time.

Anyways, I've been considering getting a Comptech Strut bar as one of my suspension mods, but now that I've discovered that the TL already comes with one I'm starting to reconsider that notion.

Tell me, is there a big difference between the stock strut bar our car comes with and an aftermarket strut bar such as the Comptech or Neuspeed ones?


Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't already have sways do that first.

 

I really don't think the strut bars make a whole ton on difference. Now, I've heard some guys giving better impressions with the Cusco bar after swapping the Neuspeed, but nothing really on the Comptech...I can tell you the Neuspeed bar does virtually nothing except appear to make the steering feel on the initial turn it a bit more confident, but it is more of a feel than a true benefit for handling...But it was only $105 as opposed to the Cusco which is like $350...
Hemants is right over the sways or springs. Though they cost more, the benefits are greater. I personally will put the Comptech sways back on the car in the near future...

 

Go with sways, i have been in a CL with them and it is a world difference.
