eibach 23mm rear sway bar

From a Neuspeed one, alot, keeps the front end under better control. Even if you pair that with the CL/TL strut bar, handling is improved.

could you elaborate on the strut bars, so you can get a neuspeed one that goes across, and another one off a CL or TL? Two bars total? do any of them connect back to the firewall or whatever (like stock)?

how much benefit actually comes from a strut bar??

Actually, unless you're tracking the car you will hardly feel anything by doing one, none, or two.

In a 4cyl, perhaps.

A few v6 members with the upgrade have noticed significant differences.

I think you've just forgotten the feel of stock and feel of it with a strut bar as its been way too long since the 6ga was on the road...

I'll thank you to NOT bring up painful memories, thanks.

Secondly, if you read through the thread that I posted a link to, as mentioned, several people mention feeling a difference with one and/or two of the bars.

Damn those Honda engineers leaving the upper struts unstable requiring only "some" people to be smart enough to add a bar to them to enforce their integrity. Oh wait...they didn't, there is already two bars which connect each strut tower to the firewall which then relates the force from one to another.

I'm not saying don't get one, or two or ten if you want...but if you get it thinking you'll see some great improvement in feel then you'll be disappointed OP...unless you are very easy to fool by the placebo effect. In which case not much can be done about it.

Sure, the two short bars the Accord got definately compare to the full bar the TL/CL got, you're right.

There would be no difference in that type of an upgrade.

"Hey, all you V6 guys that noticed a difference......sorry, it was all in your head."

thats what im thinking, the price i pay does not correlate to the outcome. however the 150 i spent on the RSB will be worth every penny.

Not in my experience. I thought the same thing, and honestly I didn’t feel a huge difference when I went from the stock elbows to the 1pc Neuspeed bar. But when I added the TL/CL OEM strut bar, the front was noticeably more planted. It was easy to tell when taking turns/on ramps at pace, and turn-in was sharper. It may be different with my car since my subframe is lowered and that threw the car off balance a little, and this helped get some of that balance back. The two strut bars definitely helped to clean up the car’s handling for me. The stock elbow bars don't do ****.

But if you are picking between a strut bar and an RSB, go with an RSB no question. And don’t short yourself, get the thickest one you can the first time. Wish I would have.
