Huge advantage for a front strut bar?

[jwong512]

As for the RSB, search TL RSB and you will get the part numbers and everything. The whole setup can be had for under $45 shipped. Thats' what I got it for from Curry Acura anyway. Easy, cheap mod that makes HUGE difference.

Does the RSB for the TL come with endlinks? I know that considering my car is 9 years old, the old endlinks will probably be destroyed the moment I try to take it off of the car. I know the regular TL one is 20mm if you get the manual trans one. The auto I believe is 19mm. I would get the Type-S one but it's too expensive. Just wondering, how big is the stock one? 16mm or 17mm?

sorry to thread jack, but this has picked my curiosity, now is this an oem part/ and does it have to be bought at a dealer? also is it the 17mm or the 20mm

thanks

The RSB, sway bar bushings, and brackets are all Acura OEM parts that ideally would be bought from the dealer. I hardly ever see these bars up for sale, and I would not buy the bushings or brackets used. Honestly though, this is one setup that is cheap from the dealer and you may as well buy it from them imo. Like I said, my whole RSB setup was under $45 shipped excluding the Moog endlinks.

The '07 TL-S 6MT RSB is 20mm. 17mm is the stock size for a V6 6GA coupe. Not sure about sedans.

No. Endlinks must be purchased separately, either a new set of OEM's or Moogs, etc. The '07 TL-S 6MT bar is like $32 man, not expensive at all for what you are getting. I bought everything online from Curry Acura, check it out.

I have Neuspeed front upper strut bar combined with Neuspeed front lower tie bar, I can tell you that the lower tie bar kept the front end rigid during turns.

I also have the Neuspeed front and rear sway bars.

Sorry redryder, which posts were you pointing to?

Or was it the general thread?

For what its worth, just a upper front strut bar is a minimal at best upgrade. Combining that with other suspension mods becomes a "sum greater than its parts" situation. I have a TL-S Rear sway, Eibach Front upper strut bar, and a C-pillar bar. They work quite well all together.

I experienced a noticeable difference with just the Neuspeed strut bar; more tidy, less flex. A year later after adding the TL-S rsb, an equally noticeable improvement again.
