I got a phone quote for $45 from Tustin Acura. I plan on vefiying that this week before I order the RSB. You might try giving them a call if it's not too far a drive from you.

it took me 20 minutes to do it... no one should charge you more than $50 to do this install,. it's ridiculously simple.

Get the RSB for $95 on eBay + $10 shipping. Install it yourself. This is an unbelievably easy task...don't pay anyone to do it.

Ordered it off of ebay, but not installing it myself. While it would be nice if I could do it, without the proper tools and garage/place to do it, it just isn't going to happen. I'm fine with paying some one $45 to do it for me.

I need help too.

I bought the a-spec coils. My dealer (Santa Monica Acura) wants $750 to install them. My mechanic said he would do it for $150. I took the car in, but, after I saw the puzzled look on his face trying to figure out how to access the rear coils, I have decided would rather take my car to some place with more experience with the TL.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic who has worked on the TL replacing the struts, might have lower rates than the dealer? Taking it to the dealer would be the last resort -- given the high price tag.

I havethe 6 spd, so I figure the stock sway bar will be ok.

Thanks in advance.

moeronn - I'll totally give you that...if you don't have the tools (I borrowed a couple myself) or a garage, you probably will want to have someone else do it. But keep in mind, on a one-shot deal, buying tools is going to be more than paying someone...but, in the long run, you'll probably use those tools again, so eating a few bucks now to have something you can use forever isn't always a bad idea. Plus, if you live in an apartment, there's nothing like seeing people work on their car in the parking lot...adds class to the place!

crvlvr - I did the ASPEC suspension myself once the dealer quoted me $530 to install. The rears aren't that bad...with the instructions, your guy could do it, but he'll probably charge you a few more bucks. Try going to a local mod shop or suspension place...they will be cheaper than the dealer.

Thanks Chill dog.. I've seen the posts on the DIY for the A-spec. I am just no in the mood these days to tackle the project. i am sure they are a lot of places that can dot it here. But given that my car isn a few weeks old, I'd like to err on the side of caution.

I'll try honcura in Glendale as recommended by RC51..

Thanks

I just got my RSB installed at Tustin Acura for $45. I was there for B service, which they probably made some money off of me for, but I usually do all my service there anyway.

I was wondering do you guys keep your stock sway bar (old part) when you get the CompTech one installed?

moeronn

I was thinking about it, but since I have an AT, it didn't seem worth while to keep it.

chill_dog

I did because I did it myself...just put it in the box the CT RSB came in. I figure when I get rid of the car, I can return it to stock and sell the ASPEC suspension, RSB, and wheels. Probably won't get much, but something's better than nothing.

waacow

Sorry if this sounds stuipd, is there a difference between RSB for AT or MT? What is the reason behind you have an AT, it didn't seem to worth while to keep it?

moeronn

Not a stupid question (but you could have searched )

The AT RSB is 17 mm in diameter where the MT RSB is 19 mm (IIRC) in diameter. The Comptech RSB is 22 mm in diameter, so the improvement to the AT is considerably more noticable.
