So now that my tax return is on its way, I'm looking to spend some money on the car..heh

My question is for those who use their accords purely for daily drivers...and what the benefits for an upper front strut bar would be?

Is it a night/day difference no matter your driving style?

Also, would the one-piece Neuspeed one be worth the money over the lesser counterparts?

Thanks

it gives little performance..mainly aesthetic. Ive got a neuspeed bar, id pick up at least a cl-s one if i were you. Theres a reason that every manufacturer puts them on there cars now (whether integrated or not)

BTW, I think the best handling mod you could buy thats pretty cheap is a rear sway bar.

^^ x100.

Progress Rear Sway Bar and never look back. But I'd pick up a CL/TL strut bar too. They're nice and cheap. $43+shipping or something??

zero difference for daily driver, if you're going to buy one... get the one piece, or else you'll have to remove the factory strut supports, because the 3pc won't fit in the space.

Thanks for the input guys-

Which years CL/TL are we talking about? lol just in case...

Also, I know I can search around, but what exactly does a rear sway bar do?

less body roll when turning which allows you to turn sharper/faster.

if your really just looking for a cheap handling upgrade i'd upgrade the rear sway bar to the tl manual transmission one. for the strut bar you need the 01 tl/cl gen. rear sway bar for a 04-08 tl

^Yes

to the OP...

Are you refering to the rear/front sway bars that goes under the car? or are you refering to the upper strut bar that goes in the engine?

The sway bars gives performance

The Strut bar in the bay gives aesthetics
