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.

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.

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.

Material and tie-rod holes are critical. The same size bar can be many times stronger.

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....

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.

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.
