Hey guys,

I've tried to do some searching and didnt come up with much since the search feature restricts 3 letters words and it so happens TIE and BAR both fit.

Which ones fits an 03 TL-S, I've seen some post that says those that fit a 98-02 Honda Accord but I wasnt sure on which brand to get.

Any suggestions ??

I think skunk2 makes the rear lower tie bar for the accords which might fit the TL.

Is there a model # or something? I saw some people have Cusco

As far as I know, Cusco only makes one for the front. The rear tie bar is not available.

Just get a set of sways and you'll be fine.

I agree. A set of sways is going to yield far greater results than a tie bar. IMHO, I'd only get a tie bar for looks.

I have a set of sways but I thought I read if you take turns hard eventually your endlinks if not more will pop and a lower tie bar is good to pervent this.

It seems to be rare to find a place to sell these. I found the skunk2 lower rear tie bar for about $130... I cant find the OBX ones and I forgot what other brands some of the members have on this forum.

Maybe this is a semantics issue, but what do you mean by lower rear tie bar?

There are front and rear anti-sway/anti-roll bars and front and rear shock tower braces. I am not familiar with the term 'tie bar'.

rear lower arm bar is also another term for it. It is not the sway bars... like strut bars but under the car.

The lower tie tar (whether it be for the front or for rear), is similar in idea to the front and rear shock tower braces that most guys have in their engine compartment and rear deck. Both Comptech and Neuspeed makes the front tower brace (or upper strut bar - looks cool under the hood), for example.

The lower tie bar on the hand is attached to the under carriage of the car. It's main purpose is to reduce the potential of chassis flex under hard cornering and makes the chassis more rigid. If you are lowered, be prepared to scrape this (a lot).

As per Cusco's website, here's the reason for getting lower tie bar:
GOOD FOR
Reducing alinement flexing and improves body rigidity.
The lateral arm improves body and rigidity by connecting at the lower arm points. Thus preventing body flex and therefore dramatically improving steering, throttle response and traction.

I have the Cusco front lower tie bar, and I can feel a difference under hard cornering (before and after installation of tie bar). In hard turns, the Cusco front lower tie bar provides a "tighter" feel in the turns. IMHO, it's one of the must do suspension mods after springs, shocks, and sways.

Let me be more specific: Cusco (to my knowledge) does not have a rear lower tie bar application for the TL.

Hey patrick, were did you get your cusco bar from? I know excelerate is selling them but how much did you get yours for?

Bxscig

Cusco front lower tie bar doesnt fit with the comptech headers i think righT? It is ok with your stone headers?

DUECE_DXJ

I have comptech headers and cusco front lower tie bar.It fits fine

patrick

I got mine from a TL member AKRY, who got it at a group buy price (he sold his TL-S, going back to Asia to work). I think I paid $120 Canadian?

patrick

Cusco front lower tie bar fits fine with Stone headers. No problems at all.
