TLS and TLP suspension

Does the TLP have the same suspension as the TLS? Acura dealer said they are the same, but the TLS has a bigger sway bar in the rear, but as far as springs and shocks goes, they are the same. Anyone know if this is true?

The springs, I believe, are different in that they are slightly stiffer in the S. The brochure I have also says the rear sway bar is thicker. The Comptech springs are far superior to either TL-P or -S springs, though!!!

Yeahif you are doing research to see what to buy, go with comptech. Barely any dive, squat or body roll, the handling is great and makes you more have more confidence in the car, but most importantly, the ride is only about 10% stiffer than stock. You will need to nail some really bad bumps to make you feel the difference.

I have the comptechs on my Accord V6 and I love them! Not too low, the ride is still comfortable and handles much better

the rear anti-roll bar is thicker on the tl-s for sure, and i think i saw somewhere that the tl-s has stiffer springs as well... but now that you ask this question, you make me wonder...

The S has a 19mm diameter rear sway while the P has an 18mm diameter rear sway.

The S has stiffer springs and shocks than the P.

The Canadian Acura site has a pretty thorough list of features and benefits. Here is the link:
