front sway bar question

[Jevik]

I know it reduce roll, but by how much? I've recently discovered my car has always had a broken endlink. My car has quite a bit of roll even at 10mph corners, feels like it'll bottom out on one side. If I was to upgrade to the cl type s rear sway, and fix the front endlink, just how big of an improvement are we talking about here? Also my ex has the 27.2mm hollow fsb, would it be worth upgrading to the solid bar?

there is no solid fsb and no you don't need to upgrade it. replace your front endlink and then decide if you wanna upgrade the rear

Don't get the CL-S rear sway... you want one of THESE:

52300-SEP-A11

(04-08) Acura TL 6SPD MAN: 20mm
(07-08) Acura TL-S: 20mm

Make sure it comes with the two brackets and bushings as well.

Betweeen that and the front endlink, it will be a VERY BIG improvement.

Ah, I thought the neuspeed front sway was solid. It says so on the sway bar size sticky. Or is that a discontinued or near useless upgrade?

 

[GoldnKnight22]

You don't want to upgrade your front sway unless you're upgrading the rear to the highest you can (akaProgress 24mm). Otherwise, you'll be bringing even more understeer upon yourself.

 

[Jevik]

So essentially, rear sway fights understeer. Front sway fights oversteer?

 

[GoldnKnight22]

yes.... essentially.

front sway adds to understeer.
rear sway adds to oversteer (in this case more neutral handling)

 

[Valet]

So getting both, say a neuspeed 29 front and progress 24 rear, it would essentially create a very neutral car?

I can't speak from experience, but those who have tracked their accords will say the FSB does improve overall handling and composure of the car. There may be a little more prominent understeer than if you had a 24mm RSB and a stock front bar, but the overall roadholding should still be better. If that makes sense. Oh, and you won't be as prone to experience some snap oversteer if you did have a neuspeed FSB.

 

[Valet]

That makes sense, pretty much what I figured.
