Sway bar question ...
I'd like to install sway bars on my 2003 TL-S. Any suggestions on which brand? I checked out Comptech but I only see that they go up to 2002 TL-S models. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Note: Overall it was pretty easy, but note that the end links, the one contecting to the sway bar tends to spin. If you take the end links off with the sway bar be sure and note which side they came off. They are not interchangeable. Also, wrap the $hit out of the bar with the teflon tape that is provided. This really needs to be done on the rears, but won't hurt to do the front as well.
I wrapped the rears 4 times and it still rubbed through and started squeeking on me.

whats the difference?
Strut bars are hooked into the shock towers to tie them together and provide better structural rigidity and turn responsiveness
Any further questions regarding the subject can be answered here...

But in retrospect, asking what is the difference between strut bars and sway bars is like asking what the difference is with exhaust headers and exhaust mufflers.
Both bars are part of the overall suspention...but offer 2 different things.

Just installed Comptechs on my TLS, and did it myself. Total time was an 1hr 45mins for both sways.
