Post Mugen sways?

I was watching Speedvision this weekend (that channel is almost as addictive as this board). I think the show was Mother's Import Tour, and I saw a Civic with a really cool sway bar. It was kind of flat, and arched over the engine. It was so cool, then they panned by it and I could see the name on it was Mugen. Is there a Mugen sway out there for our TL?

Maybe.. I dunno. It was a pretty flat arch, and it was positioned about where our sways are.

I found this really nice picture. It was very similar to what I saw:



I linked to that picture without the guy's permission, so I better include a link to his page: http://www.itrca.com/registry/featured_2.asp

now we are talking about strut tower bar, instead of sway bars. On our TL we have 3 bars: 1 strut towar that goes on top of the front struts (strut tower bar), and 2 sway bars that go underneath the car (that link two oppisite wheels together).

a strut tower brace reduces body flex by making the engine bay more rigid. The TL has a cheap one built-in. it probably works well, but its ugly as hell and it's made of steel instead of light weight aluminum.
