My 02 Accord SE Sedan currently has no mods, but I'd like to add a rear sway bar to improve handling. Any thoughts on Neuspeed or Suspension Techniques? I've seen complaints in some posts about the installation of Susp Tech sways. Some mentioned having to drill new holes in order to install (the year of the Accord wasn't given, so I don't know if that applies to 6th gen). Also, are the OEM sway links strong enough to handle a 19mm bar? A few posts mentioned that the outer part of their rear tires started showing wear after adding a bigger than OEM rear sway. Anyone have this problem?
Neuspeed or ST Sway?

I have the nuespeed front and rear. Plan on replacing atleast the rears when you install it. I ended up having to replace both front and rear endlinks.
If I had some mad skills I'd try and replicate the custom endlinks that Syclone made for his car. He had his made so he could adjust the endlinks.

Mine were so rusted they had to be torched off. Everything bolted up fine.
FYI - if you don't tighten the endlinks all the way or enough they will create a clunking sound.

Should maybe get another alignment after installing sway bars?
Thanks for answering my newbie questions. My links look rust-free (southern car), so hopefully I won't need to torch them. You mentioned tightening the endlinks. Did you torque the nuts/bolts to Honda specs or just go by feel? Do the Neuspeed sway come with lube and is that what you used?

I just tightened them till they were tight. The sways come w/ lube for their bushings.
I have all 3 of those (white03). You dont have to torque them to any specific amount. Just do it till their tight.

A rear strut bar? No one makes one.
Here's the only bars available for our cars:
Front Upper Strut Bar
Front Lower Tie Bar
Front Sway Bar
Rear Sway Bar
Rear Lower Tie Bar
I suppose if you wanted to you could get the adjustable rear C-pillar bar for a DA integra (90-93) in place of a rear strut bar.
