RE: Rear anti-roll/ sway bar, tie bar
Its been about a week or so with my 20mm sway. Here are my opinions so far
1. Highway driving is fabulous. Its a new car. Steering is quick and the rear does not lag (70% less)
2. City driving is fun. Taking 90 degree turns does not involve bracing yourself so you dont fly into the door or passenger seat.
3. Its premature to say, but the torque steer is also reduced. Its been wet and snowy here in NYC no I really cant floor it yet.
Overall is a great inexpensive easy to install upgrade. Lots of discussion about oversteer and rear grip. For you to loose control of the rear, your really an inexperienced driver and/or you do not know what your doing. You have to learn the new sway before you pu****. Learn the limits.Oversteer is little or none. In my opinion so far, its a well balanced car so far.

I just put a 20mm Acura bar on the rear of my EX today, and what a difference!. Very neutral and balanced with quicker steering. This was a slick, inexpensive ($40 for a new Acura bar delivered) and simple upgrade.

Erm...heh where does this piece go? I jacked the car up and everything and the only place seems suitable....the rear tie bar didn't fit. Did I get the wrong part? The only place where it looks like it could go is close to the cambers.
EDIT- Here are actual pictures....I just figured out by turning the tie bar that it's adjustable and locks via a nut. The clasp/locking mechanism of the tie bar is very strange.

RE: Rear anti-roll/ sway bar, tie bar
Does the TL sway bar swap work with the Accord 4-door? I have an 03 V6 EX sedan. i also have an 03 CL-S... they look to be the same car underneath. i just want to confirm i want a TL sway bar to use on my Accord 4-door.
