20 mm TL Type S rear anti-roll bar bolts right in!

Stock is 14 mm (believe base TL is 17 mm so its an upgrade for it as well), looks like a piece of spaghetti in comparison.





Installed-damn tag just wouldn't come off easily!



Anti-roll bar, D bushings, brackets and bolts were $80 at Vandergriff Acura in Arlington (TX), might have been able to find it cheaper online but going local meant no shipping charges. I had to get the end links as well since mine had some play in them, that cost another $46 but if yours are in good shape, you won't need them. In retrospect, probably should have bought the Moog equivalent.

Impressions: Cornering and lane changes are noticeably flatter, understeers a lot less too. Installation with a lift was a breeze. 30 minutes or so. Very good bang for the buck mod if you have a 7th gen Accord or a base model TL. And its a factory part so fit is perfect.

 

Scott, I'm in North Arlington. Do you buy a lot of parts from Vandergriff? Do they give you any kind of discount? I usually end up ordering online, the tax I save usually covers shipping, and the parts are usually 30% cheaper. But if you have a secret for getting local, I'm all ears. Local if nothing else is quicker. Thx!

 

I have a friend who works there (marketing) but I don't get a discount. And they can generally get something within a day. Not sure what it would cost to ship an anti-roll bar but seems the only way to keep the costs down is to ship ground. And depending on the point of origin, could take a while. It was worth it to me to pay a bit more to get the parts the next day.

What part of north Arlington? I live less than a half mile from the Green Oaks entry into River Legacy Park.

 

you can also get the Type S rear sway bar, its an upgrade over the Base...

Auto Base --> Manual Base --> Type S --> Progress RSB (as far as I remember thats the order)

 

Got your greater and less thans mixed up. Pretty much said auto base is greater than the progress!

 

ohhh I wasnt using it as a '>' sign but more like an arrow '-->'

so as you go up the arrow you are upgrading

 

Thought about going aftermarket but can't beat the price of the TL-S bar, or the OE fit. And for me, the TL-S bar is a big upgrade.
