Have fun and report back soon! Mine is on the way from Comptech and will get here next Tuesday. I probably won't get to install it till next Saturday. This will be the best Bang for the Buck upgrade I will make. A-Spec suspension upgrade will be considered next year after I hear more about other options.

kyle-wdp,

Thanks for the info. Did you have trouble with removing the bolt on the endlink? It's the one that connects the bar to the drop link. I hear folks have used an allen wrench to hold the stud to turn the nut and a little WD-40 helps to dissolve the rust. I appreciate any advice as mine will be here next week.

I didn't use an allen wrench because I didn't realize it was an option (bought service manual after the install). But, that is definitely the way to go. Someone should scan the service manual. It is very clear. I would but I don't have access to a scanner.

 

$244 out the door. The car feels firmer, like switching on a firm setting for the suspension. Far less understeer. I'm sure better tires will help. I couldn't drive hard today because it started raining just as I left the Acura Dealer.

Question, Is the new RSB heaver than the old one? The old bar feels about 10 lbs

 

Thanks dcarlif1! I was hoping that you can just take it off without the allen wrench if the stud were new and not too rusty but I guess you gotta do it the right way. That also means the cat back will have to be moved out of the way. It will be worth it.

I did use an allen wrench on one side, just because someone had mentioned it here. Very easy install!

 

It will especially improve handling on a non A-spec 5AT !!!!! We need it the most.

 

Thanks kyle. I will do the same next weekend then.
