I will do. Thanks for letting me know your interest.

If I don't secure some local buys in under a week's time.

Then I will be looking into shipping them out.

Comptech Sway Bar = 22mm.

One bar has some included brackets and bushings...the other does not.

Typically you just re-use your own brackets and bushings.

22mm? wouldnt that be the back? if im not mistaken oem front is 27mm. not sure but thats what pops in my head. since 19mm is oem rear (tl-s and cl-s only) and the front one is a lot larger than the rear. my 24mm progress rear sway bar is still smaller then the oem front sway bar.

anyone can confirm this?

Oh yeah...I might be getting them confused.

I got to double check.

Thanks for the question...

I need to verify that information.

Ok. Here is the answer...

Also...the Comptech Front Sway Bar is a discontinued item.

Some companies still have some inventory and sell them as part of a sway bar package.

Which...on sale is priced @ $350. No Shipping or tax calculated.

http://www.modacar.com/products/Acur...TL+Type+S.html

But not sold separately with just the front sway bar...only the rear.

No...It isn't smaller.

The rear and front sway bars are different sizes because of the car's design.

It's about the composition of the Comptech Front Sway vs. OEM.

To my knowledge...You can't run larger sway bars on the front without interference.

so let me get this straight the comp tech is smaller than the stock fsb but the comp tech is made out of harder steel so it doesn't flex. am I right?

^ If the OEM sway bar is 27mm...then they are the same size.

It is stronger than OEM, great quality and engineering with Comptech as I'm sure you know.

The Comptech Front Sway Bar is the same size as the OEM Front Sway Bar, BUT, Comptech Sway Bar is stronger so you get a better response in handling.
Good luck with sale.

Yeah I am selling two.

You can buy one and another person can buy another.

Thank you for your interest.

Somebody local PM'd me last night and said they would pick it up local.

I'll confirm with them that they are going to pick up this weekend.

If not, I'll let you know.
