Sorry for this stupid question....

I know Type S has sway bar in the front. How about rear? Do we have a sway bar in the back? IF yes, where is it?

If not, what will be a good one to put it on?

Thankx.

it has sways in front and rear, both are on the underbody of the car, if u look u'll see. the rear runs under the mufflers. comptechs are probably the best ones to put on.

"comptechs are probably the best ones to put on".

Why? Are they stronger, thicker ... what?

 

It is slightly thicker. The point is that it has been designed to aide handling by people who know Acuras very well. I understand it has been tuned to coordinate with the lowered springs, so whether it provides the benefit you may seek is an issue.

Being stiffer, the rule of thumb would be that it will shift the handling bias away from understeer and more towards neutral.

In terms of quality, hard to say, although I have not seen any posts dissing it for failures or usage problems.

Asa a nitpick - the correct name for these is anti-roll bars, but everyone calls them sway bars, including Comptech!
