Just wondering if anyone knows what the stock sway bar sizes on a 2003 TL-S are? I remember upgrading these in my Civic years ago made a good difference in handling, but I figure the TL-S would have pretty large diameter sways to begin with.

Appreciate any info, and if anyone has positive experiences in upgrading their sway bars on a TL-S.

Thanks!

Front is 27mm / Rear is 19mm

There are 3 or 4 aftermarket brands that make sways for our cars...
I would recommend Eibach and Comptech

Eibach (front 27mm/ rear 23mm)
Comptech (front 27mm/ rear 22mm)

I have Eibach on my car and it does a good job on handling.

So, I would really just need to switch out the rear sway bar then, since the stock is already 27mm.

Are sway bars easy to swap out? Could I do it myself with a pair of jack stands?

The sways are a definite improvement once you install aftermarket ones. I went with Comptech sways ... probably the best dollar-for-dollar upgrade on the car, IMHO.

It is a DIY ... be sure to do the swap on level ground ... any load that's uneven on the chassis will make taking the sways off / putting new ones on very difficult. And of course, the right tools will make life extremely easy. If you have access to air tools, you're golden ... otherwise, it can be done ... with a little elbow grease!
