auto vs manual suspensions
auto vs manual suspensions
What are the differences between the suspensions on the automatic transmission cars and the 6spd manuals?
I see there are heavier anti-sway bars. Are they interchangable? I have the auto - does anyone know if I can bolt on the heavier manual tranny bars?
Are there any differences in the shocks or springs?

Front springs (due to 5AT weight?), knuckles (brake mounts?), sway bars, recommended tire pressures. I think that's it as far as suspension. Bars should be interchangeable and an easy swap - just bars and bushings.
You need to be careful in that the 6MT swaybars are optimized for the LSD setup, which affects front to rear weight transfer during cornering. The 6MT & 5AT traction control systems likely have different calibrations as well. In other words, if you stuff your modified car into a ditch, Acura will not be liable. The different tire pressures between the models also affect understeer/oversteer characteristics.
