'04 TL Rear antisway bar on Gen7 Coupe!
Best $60 (w/tax) I ever spent!
I bought the '04 TL (6spd) rear bar, bushings, and brackets. No other parts needed.
At first glance, the bends don't seem to match the Accord (Honda bends horizontally around low spot of the body, Acura bends down below), but slipped in without hitting anything. Exhaust is close, but was before, too.
Took out a lot of the roll in corners. Still not enough, though. Looking for recommendations on struts/coilovers. By the time I priced out Koni yellows and some springs, I was close to the price of Tein SS coilovers. Anyone got the Teins installed? Ride impressions? I don't want much drop (maybe 1.7-2 front, 1-1.5ish rear). Also don't want it to ride like an old pickup, either!
