Would anyone know if the rear sway bar from the 3G TL will fit on a 2G TL?

I have not personally tried to do it, but I have read on the forum that the 3rd gen TL RSB will fit the 2nd gen TL/CL.

Why not buy something that's engineered for our chassis? (eg Eibach, Comptech)

Because it's much cheaper! I know a lot of 6th gen. Accord guys use the 3rd gen TL RSB...

jonjacob

yup the 3rd gen sway can fit on the 6th just bigger end links needed.

Rpappi

so the 3G RSB will fit our cars. how much would we be looking at for the larger end links?

I was reading up on this on another forum. Basically I am looking at the 20MM RSB found on the 04+ TL

52308-S3M-A00 HOLDER x2
52306-SEP-A11 BUSH, RR. STABILIZER HOLDER (20MM) x2
52300-SEP-A11 SPRING, RR. STABILIZER x1

Part numbers found above.

Has anyone attempted to install it?

Thanks,

Kevin

i talk to an acura dealer. and all i need to know now is what end link would i need to get the ones for the 03 TL or the ones for the 04 TL?

Rpappi

ok well the 03 are the same as the 00 that was a stupid question. but are the end links that i need the 04. i really want to do this mod soon.

06523-S84-A00 Endlinks

That's the part number for the end links.

I am excited that this 20 MM RSB will fit.

Rpappi, did you buy all the other parts yet? Just need to buy the end links?

Thanks,

Rpappi

havent got the parts yet. i can get the comptech sway bar from acura of Lynnwood for 110 and the end links are like 30 a peice. i cant wait next time i get a chance to get up there im going to get it all. i cant wait. i here its a night and day difference.

Rpappi

im having a hard time finding the part number online. is that part the same as the 04 endlinks???

Rpappi

quick question before i get the 04 TL sway bar. do you think it will make my car unbalanced. EX. too tight in the rear causeing way to much oversteer?

beefing up the rear swaybar will cause more understeer, not oversteer.

ayethetiense

uhm, i thought beefing up the front swat bars would cause more understeer........

Rpappi

ok i said it wrong but you know what i mean. i dont want the car to be unbalanced does anyone think that would make my car uneven?

oVerBoost

yea, you are correct. i dono what i was smoking when i said otherwise.

Rpappi

well does anyone have an answer for that???

It will most likely change teh handeling of your car. No it most likely wont be for the worse. It will probably make the car more neutral or for the for the front to push a little less, if pushed hard enough the rear may want to come around slightly. It wont make your car be ill handeling for normal driving if thats what your worried about.

Be a poineer and try for us.

The car is factory tuned for understeer. This will bring the chassis to a more neutral attitude. But be ready for the ass end sliding out just in case, especially in the snow or the rain.

Rpappi

ya i understand all that i was just wondering if making the rear that much stiffer will make the car uneven. im hoping for neutral. i dont mind some rear end slid im used to it. i just dont want it to be way off. any who im going to try to get it soon. maybe in the next 2 weeks.

chewi

sweet... can't wait to hear how it goes.

I wonder how they would compare to the Eibach's and the comptech's sway bars

Pure Adrenaline

I already told you that it will set the chassis more neutral because the car is set for understeer. If you consider the factory tune "even", then yeah, what you are about to do will make it uneven.

Also, you're getting a 20mm bar.

Comptech makes 22mm rear bar for the 2G (front stays the same diameter but thicker wall).

So if people can live with 22mm in the rear, then you will be fine with 20mm.

Bottom line, it's not going to the swing the ass end out around every turn. It will still exhibit understeer; just less of it now.

I spoke to a 2nd gen guy with the 3rd gen RSB and he said that he reused his original end links. I don't think you need to replace them. To be honest I don't think that Acura changed them all that much anyways. Now on a side note he replaced his bar with the Comptech RSB; the OEM 3rd gen M/T sway bar may be slightly different. Probably not but just a disclaimer.

Rpappi

well thats good. that makes me want to go out and buy the rsb tommorrow. and if it doesnt fit without the new endlinks then ill take my dads 06 RL to acura of fife and pick them up.

BAPE head

Anyone have any updates on this?

BAPE head

Never Mind, i got an update.
I just had mine installed yesterday. My end link bolts were rusted and seized beyond belief so i had to pay $90 for new beefier endlinks too. $60 upgrade became $150 upgrade. OH well...

It feels good, definitly less understeer when whipping around turns and such. With this upgrade and my coils set stiffer, feels like i am riding on rails.

Defintily a good cheap upgrade, depending on the condition of your own 17mm bar, you could get a few dollars out of it for Accord guys looking to upgrade thiers to a 17 mm.

So do you guys think the aftermarket +04 rear sways work?

BAPE head

What do you mean work? Do you mean does Aftermarket RSB for the 04+ TL fit our cars? Seeing as how the 20mm RSB from the 3rd gen fit my car, my answer would be yes...

Yes, that is what I mean...Thanks for the info.

I'm gonna put an order on the H&R rear sway bar and get new endlinks as well.
