Sway Bar Recommendations?
I had some Eibach on my '02 TL-S. I loved those.
I know there is also Comptech and Neuspeed. Any recommendations?
For some reason I remember that someone said that the Comptech are the same size as the stock.
Maybe someone can explain what makes a good sway bar and what doesn't.
Hollow or solid?
Thickness?
etc.
Thanks

the only sway bar i know out there is the Comptech.
it all depends if you have a 6MT or a AT. the 6MT has a thicker sway bar than the AT. The Comptech RSB (22mm?) is slightly thicker than the one in the 6MT(20mm?). either way, it is a big improvement. i have a 6MT and the car just takes those NJ jug handle turns like it was on rails.

I have a AT......
Hmmmm ok, I will have to consider that then.
When you say the only one you know of...I assume you mean the only one you know of for the '05 right?
UPDATE:
It seems it is only the rear bar they offer..is that correct?

If you are going to buy a CT sway check out this site on ebay, I just bought mine from scott at Acura of Las Vegas and it was $100.00 plus free shipping.

I see that he doesn't have one up for auction you may have to email him. I think I bought his last one.

Installation note:
Don't let an Acura dealer rip you off! Most of them charge 1–1½ hours of labor for what’s really nothing more than a 10 minute job consisting of removal and reinstall of only 4 bolts and 2 nuts once the car is on the lift, about the same or less time than it takes to change the oil. The independent repair shop I’ve been doing business with for years did it in 7 minutes .... the route to go.

I will have to get him to do the sway also.
Thanks for the advice!
