You could probably sell it locally.

haha, i like the pull up bar idea! no, i dont have new sway bars yet. im saving up for some, but probably going to lower it first. so do the 03tl-s front and rear sways fit? if they do do you think they are cheaper than aftermarekt?

^ Yeah they fit but there is no point to run those sway bars...

03 TL-S isn't going to offer you any advantage.

You can run a 3rd Gen TL rear sway bar.

That's cheaper than an aftermarket bar and would provide some more stiffness over your OEM bar.

^ The TL-S RSB is 19mm, 2mm thicker than the TL-P

How thick is the 3rd gen RSB?

Much better than a TL-P Sway but for not much more you can get a Eibach or Progressive Rear Sway.

And those respectively @ 22mm and 24mm I think...going off memory.

Too lazy to search again.

Fixed

And not much more $$ can get the Eibach or Progress.

Paypal is a bitch if you are a seller, if you are a buyer, the ball is in your court. I sold a working Pioneer avic and the dude fucked up on installing and he ended up getting his money back and I got a fried avic.

^so is yours straight rather than bent like the frist one?

yea i figured the oem tl-s would be around the same price. my buddy told me that a larher diameter sway bar would reduce the body roll(obviously) but will cause the back end to be a little loose? true/false? i think hes full of it but cant hurt to ask

Its more than the diameter that matters. There is the shape of the bar, and there is also hollow vs. solid, etc. that comes into play. I have the 3G TL-S RSB and it was a big improvement over stock. Plus I got it for free.

^Free, niceee

If you were going from TLP's 17mm to 3G's 20mm, that's a good difference. I don't know about 19mm to 20mm though.

I thought the 2G and 3G stock RSB were both solid bars.

2nd gen TL-P is 18mm while TL-S is 19mm

I upgraded it to Eibach which is 23mm for RSB.
