Comptech Rear Sway Bar

After installing this, does anyone really feel the difference? ANy detailed comments would be appreicated. Does the rsb come in effect only on "hard turns"?

As many others will say. Do a search and will you get more information than you need or want. Adding a RSB is the biggest single change on the car you can make for the money.

SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!

yea there's a spiral-type of onramp that i take to go to seattle. i used to only be able to hit like 45 on it without fear of losing control or rolling. i can EASILY take that turn hittin 60-70. even on the freeway, when i downshift and gun it, i get SLIGHT body roll, but that's because i haven't lowered it yet. hopefully soon

You can definitely feel like there is a change. I don't really know how to explain but to say the car feels more like its on rails during hard turns at higher speeds- as if the car were more confidently going through.

Definitely worth the money. Also, no noises coming from it yet.

When the Comptech RSB is purchased, does it come with everything you need to make sure that there's no thumping (bushings)?

From what I was told yesterday, you can use the hardware already on the car. But there are some harder bushings available. I order mine yesterday from Excelerate $120.00 shipped.

yea, when u get the install kit u don't need to buy anything else to put it on the tl. it's an easy install, just read the instructions. it's a simple bolt off the stock and bolt on the new. u don't need jacks, probably a set of cheap rhino ramps is the fastest and easiest way to get the bar on. the only hard part about it is taking off 2 of the guerrilla tightened end link bolts.

yea, u'll definitely feel the difference and can't do better for like 100 bones.

Can you provide the part number for the Energy Suspension bushings? Did you go with greasable or non-greasable?
