I should've ordered the end links at the same time, but didn't think of it. So just to be sure I'd have what I need when I install this weekend, I ordered the left and right endlinks at http://www.foreigncarpartsonline.com/ They call them sway bar links, and they were the cheapest price I could find online. P/N for right rear; L1030-142489, P/N for right left; L1030-142492

Hope that helps!

Yup. The P/N's above are for an Accord. Can't say for sure, but I'd bet the TL links are the same thing. Just to play it safe.... stay w/ the Accord links.

Anyone here upgraded to the o4 TL Progress 24mm rear sway bar? One of my friends on torontoaccords did the upgrade from the Comptech 22mm and said the difference was pretty significant. Thinking of doing it as well, the price is pretty reasonable.

Wish I had more personal experience to answer that. But from all I've read, you want to balance the rear sway bar to what's in front, so the car stays neutral. If the front sway bar is stock, I think 19 or 20mm is plenty.

Supposedly, if the rear sway bar is way thicker/stiffer than the front, the rear end will want to come around more in the corners.

so, a bit off topic of acura sway bars, but for anyone who has installed the ST rear sway bar, was there any clearance issues with the exhaust hanger, or is that only an issue with the acura swaybars? also, the ST bar is 22mm correct?

I currently have the ST rear sway, no clearance issues, it fit without any modifications needed. Yes, it's 22mm.

Appreciate the input, I think the stock one is 27mm, so I guess upgrading to 24mm would make it much more balanced, so if such is the case, a Progress bar for me!

The stock bar is 16mm. Well, i use a micrometer with mine and it was 17mm, that might be a difference between the sedan and coupe or later year. I've always read 16, mine was 17.

the stock rear sway bar is 16mm and the stock front sway bar is 26.?mm thick
