I thought there was a member that already did this mod? The accord one does fit from what I remember from that post. You need to get a major alignment after since it bolts to the toe adjustment bolts. I remember the member was saying to make sure you alight it right after because his toe was completely off. This bar is suppose to make the rear suspension response more. It should fit if I recall correctly. I just never did it cause my alignment cost more than the bar. haha.

He means after you put the bar on, the nut doesnt get as far down on the bolt because of the brace.

Did the bar increase the handling characteristics of your car much? Does the rear feel tighter and more connected in turns?

slvrcrunch, have you upgraded your rear sway bar? If not, you should do that first. And if money is an issue, you can get a RSB for the 3G TL-S from the dealership. It will fit (you will need new bushings and brackets also) and it's a good improvement over stock.

The positive thing is your "out of pocket" expense isn't too much.

You could probably sell it locally.
