Default 6gen lower tie bars and sway bars

I am looking to drop a few $$ into suspension (6gen i4 coupe), I already have:

Tein SS Coilovers
DC front upper strut bar
Eibach (SPC) rear camber kit

I was thinking about lower tie bars, sway bars rear upper bar? I dunno much about any of these and can't seep to find any good answers from searches.

I want to find out as much as possible...but also have some specific questions:

Are Acura TL-S parts interchangable with 6 gen coupe?
I heard Rear lower tie bar will push out camber...any truth? Should I be able to correct this with my camber kit?

Any difference between Acura OEM/Cheap Ebay/brand name (nuspeed, dc sports, etc...) suspension parts? <<I don't mind spending a bit more to get a brand name part.

If so, what should I look for when buying suspension stiffening parts?
Thanks in advance for your help!

im not sure about the rear lower tie bar pushing out the camber because all it does it stabilize that area by adding the bar there.

but yea, the camber kit should be able to fix it...dont see why not.

the TL-S should fit the 6th gens...here is a parts list.



oh and as far as the suspension bars and stuff. the ebay ones are uauly adjustable, thus having weaker points than the solid piece bars such as neuspeed, DC...

i believe the sway bars will improve the most though.

The tie bar will through off your TOE not your camber.
I went through the same problem thinking it was the camber.
STOCK CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE.

The toe was the culprit.

"The tie bar will through off your TOE not your camber."

Is there a way to adjust for this?! There must be right? Anyone out there using one of these tie bars?

"STOCK CAMBER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE."

I know but I have the SPC camber adjusters!

I have a Nuespeed front strut bar and eibach rear sway with the SPC camber kit all around. The car feels rock solid all around. Im still debating as to wether or not I should install the front sway bar, the car feels great right now.
