Rear Sway Bar Inquiry.

[jkr1809]

No. It's already explained in this thread

I'm looking for some real imput. I'm looking to buy 04 tl front and rear sway bars. I want to hear what people think about doing the front. Is it worth it? To me they seem like a kit and go hand in hand. Any thoughts?

explained here..

Just go with a 24mm Rear Sway bar from a TL-S from Progress. A sway bar helps with the rigidity of the suspension and gives it the tendancy to "slide". The front sway bar causes the front end of the car to slide - therefore give you understeer.

Pretty much all vehicle manufactures will give you a massive front sway bar to allow the car to understeer. An understeering car is "easier" to control. By adding a rear sway bar, you are giving the rear end of to slide a bit and therefore the car will "rotate" properly in the corners.

Now, I speak from track knowledge here, and you should not ever be driving at speeds on the street or performing manuvers to allow the rear end to swing out - so I am not going to tell you that it does... but it helps.

If you add really stiff springs from GC (with proper shocks like Koni Yellows or Race), then the entire front end is stiff enough, you can actually disconnect the front sway bar to eliminate the entire tendancy of understeer - and greatly increase the cars ability to oversteer.

Long story short = Increasing the Front Sway bar ... NO NO.

Sorry to revive a semi-old thread, but I just picked up an 05 manual TL RSB, and it came with the rubber bushings.

Would these fit into the original clamps, or are they bigger?

I ask because it's Saturday and the stealership won't be open tomorrow...and I really wanna get this installed lol

saturday? not in canada it isnt its friday man haha. tomorrows saturday...they should be open...at least every dealership i know of around me is open saturdays.

also, yes, youll need the brackets as well im pretty sure. my progress bar came with new brackets, and the stock ones sure as hell wouldnt have fit the progress bushings.

I ordered my 04 TL RSB,(2)Bushings,(2)brackets a few days ago from oemacuraparts.com

everything came out to be $43.xx and some change.! Rather spend that than 140$+ on the others just for 4mm difference or even 1mm on some company's RSB
the Moogs endlinks will cost more than all this above! ha

 

[inv4zn]

yeahh hahaha

I replaced my endlinks around February when I did my springs/shocks so I think I should still be able to reuse them...heh

Acura was open, but none of the local shops had the clamps =(

just ordered from curryauto and had great communication w/ them, their shipping is free right now and quick also. but now i just need to buy the honda endlinks. sorry to 2month bump but any websites that are trusted for oem endlinks?
