RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
Go with the sways first, because those will definitely give you more handling than struts. As far as brands go, Greddy, neuspeed, and tanube and pretty big. Though neuspeed and greddyare definitely more on the pricier side of things. I've never heard of Progress. I say either Greddy or Neuspeed, but if you're short on cash, I guess you can choose the other brands. Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for, so it might be better to save up a bit and get the better ones.

sway then strut
:D |
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
reason being sway corrects your horrendous FWD understeer...bigger the better. 22 is common, 24 is considered monster.

Neuspeed has 27mm's out for my 2000!

RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
Check their web site and see if they do..Both at the same time is the ideal way of course...

RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
27 is SUPER MONSTER. thats a bit excessive...but I mean we drive FWD Accords...so I guess it's not excessive at all after all. :P

RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
I've heard the 27mm Progress bar is a great bar. I had Comptechs and they were pretty sweet. I still haven't seen anyone else make a 6th gen V6 sedan hold 0.9g's on a turn.
|
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
I could believe that. Even the 27mm wasn't enough to hold it down to 0.9gs eh?
|
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
how big should i go for a daily commuter car? maybe 22mm ? 24mm ?
and should i think about replacing any of the hardware connecting the rear sways? the links look WEAK.... literally the thickness of a pencil what should i make sure the new rear sways come with ? (bolts, bushings, etc..) any tips on the install? looks simple.... also any links or websites would be helpful... whats your thoughts on H&R components? |
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
Daily driver i would go 22mm or 24. I have the 24mm PROGRESS rear anti-sway bar and its a miracle worker....weaving/merging is a breeze now.
|
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
just got the 22mm Progress Technology rear sway... looks and feels intense !
cant believe the size difference between the two.... should install this weekend, i'll post my thoughts..... hoping 22mm wasnt too much... |
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
22 is standard man, lol. Shoulda went with the monster 27mm. :P I bought my 24mm rear sway for around ~140.
EDIT- Oh btw....TL and Accord rear sways are interchangeable. I bought the 24mm designed for the TL. |
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
ORIGINAL: 03Sleeper I could believe that. Even the 27mm wasn't enough to hold it down to 0.9gs eh? You're misunderstanding me. I held 0.9 with my setup and hit 0.95. Comptech is 26mm I think.

RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
installed the 22mm Progress Techonology rear sway... and i love it
it actually reduced the roll alot more than i had anticipated.... with cornering and weaving i feeltighter and more responsive with the wheel i can be alot more agressive with all turning... i like it alot ! haha feels like i can hit corners about 10 mph faster than i could before the install... possibly saving me gas in the long run.... haha probably not tho also debadged my car this weekend.... everything went well.. next project is strut tower bar or projector headlights.... |
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
what do you guy think about the Megan full kit? any good?
|
RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
Post a link and I'll take a look. I wouldn't expect Megan to be better than Comptech, Progress or the TL-S bar ..... afer all, Megan was named to bite off of Mugen's reputation.

RE: Strut tower bar or Rear Sway Bar?
Mugen is a true JDM company. In referance to the bars that you are looking at, I don't really like their hollow tube design. I've seen it before and it seems flimsy to me. There are just as cheap bars on ebay that use oval shaped billet aluminum. With support bars, there are 2 things to look at. The middle bar has to be stiff and the mounts have to be pretty strong so that they don't bend. Most of the solid aluminum bars that I mentioned have steel mounting brackets. That is what I'd go with if you want to upgrade on a budget. The better design would be like the Neuspeed bar that I had on my accord where the bar was a significant size and wall thickness and was welded directly to the mounting bracket. Even better would be a double tube design, again with an integral bracket.

I always look on the company's website for the part #, then search froogle.com for the company name and the part or kit #.
