I am upgrading my suspension before spring. I dont know what is the difference between the strut bar and the Sway bar. What would be better to purchase? Any help peoples?

sway bars are definitely a greater improvement compared to the strutbar. Sways cost 3 times a much. IMHO get the sways, in my case, I got both.

which brand is best for sway bars?

Strut bars goes on top and sways are lower reinforcements. As far as sways...the Neuspeed ones are supposedly thicker. Almost everyone uses Comptechs.

Well...I have the Neuspeed ones myself...but unfortunately for us they are not readily available. At this point, there is no question on which brand...since technically your only left with 1 choice...Comptech (which BTW is why most people have them).

I have Comptech...and I love them!!!! Great mod.

Sways definitely first. It's probably the single best add on to improve handling & will make your car more neutral in the corners.

I went Comptech also and have had no problems.

How much would it cost to have them installed normally?

u could also look into the cusco strut bar... it is made specifically for the tl. i think it will come out to about more or less $135. and installing can be as easy as unbloting a few nuts and bolting it back up... you may have to jack up the car. either way its very easy.

Both!!

Sways first - Comptech
Strut next - Eibach, ProControl bar, Neuspeed or Cusco

Eibach = Pro Control Bar

There is only 3 options...and frankly I wouldnt easily recommend the Eibach...since unlike the Cusco or Neuspeed, you can't integrate the Eibach strut bar with the stock.

AcuraTL

Since the TL already comes with a strut bar, adding another one isn't going to help much. The strut bar helps when you corner at extreme speed, preventing the strut towers in flexing.

Sway bars will prevent your car from swaying during moderate/high speed cornering. However, I would do the springs first before doing the sway. As I still believe lowering springs will give you the best handling capability. Lowering the center gravity of your vehicle will do wonders in high speed stability, cornering and to prevent brake dive during hard braking. Plus, it gives your TL a more aggressive look.
