Wink TL's suspension needs some "tightening"

Anyone know where to buy a:front strut tower brace, rear tie bar, rear upper strut tower brace, sway bars, and camber plates for the 2002 TL Type-S? Thanks, I drove the car and felt it isn't firm enough under hard cornering.

I totally agree with you. The shocks are firm enough. I can feel the jolts when going over rough roads. But there is just too much body roll during corning, not even hard cornering.

I believe a set of sway bars will do magic.
Oh boy, I really miss the handling on my ex- modded Integra.

You already have a strut tower brace, 4 point brace, too!
Rear tie bar and rear strut tower brace, good luck finding
Sway bars, comptech
Springs, Comptech
I don't know why you would need camber plates for street driving..
Just remember, this car 'aint no race car..

well, we have the sways too... but aftermarket might be an improvement with that, and if its anything like the comptech sways, it'll be so much the better... i ordered the eibach strut tower brace, and i guess i'll see how it is when i get it.

Zodiak, I doubt an added brace in addition to our stock brace will do anything first, and if you plan on removing the stock brace(4 point) for the aftermarket(2 point),you would make the chassis flex more, IMO..

I haven't had time to update this site here,
so just go to www.autocarparts.com and search for all the suspension parts available for your Type S
