Default Nuespeed or CL-S Swaybar?

What's the difference between rear swaybar from Nuespeed and an Acura
CL-S type? Is one thicker or outperforms the other?
I want to install one or the other in my 6 generation Accord Coupe EX.

You'll probably save $30 or so by going for the CL-S swaybar. But personally, I'd choose Neuspeed without thinking about it twice. Weight differences aren't a huge deal...swaybars aren't exactly that heavy in the first place. But the metal used is stronger on the Neuspeed swaybar. The CL-S's can be bent by standing on it...so imagine the flex you get with a 3000 pound car.

are we talking both the front and rear sways or just the rear? Can't beat the comptech sways imo.......but I've also ridden in an AV6 with TL-S sways and it seemed pretty nice.........for the money I would get the CL-S or TL-S sways (same thing).......you aren't gonna be able to tell much of a difference between the neuspeeds and the tl ones. I actually prefer TL-S parts whenever I can get them and they will fit.......I thought the TL-S strut tower brace was a great deal at $40, and in my opinion it's better quality than the neuspeed one.

I'm interested in the rear swaybar and actually want to buy a front
strut brace as well so this is great info. I didn't know the TL-S swaybar
and strut brace fits the 6 gen Accord too?
What year TL-s strut brace did you get? and did you get it for $40 at
the dealership? Any other parts I will need to make it fit?

I have a 98 Accord 4.

Acura Fanatic makes sense in that if the material is better in the
Neuspeed, it might be worth it. The point is to reduce flex and if the
swaybar is stiffer from neuspeed it's worth the extra money. Did you
get a chance to see them both and compare?

Honestly, how often do you drive a car to it's full potential. If you have the money, pay a bit more and go with Comptech's set. If not, just go with the TL-S. It's cheap and the change is somewhat noticable.

I got the 02 strut brace, but any year will be the same.....no didn't need any other parts to make it fit, reuse the bolts from the stock braces....it really is a perfect fit.....i ordered it off acuraautomotiveparts.net, you can get it at the dealer, but they will charge you a little over 50 for it.

What's the technical name for the strut brace. I looked on the site and
was unable to find "strut brace" or anything similar.


hmmm, Comptech, Neuspeed or TL-s. Decisions, decisions.
Comptechs are more the twice the price, wow. Know where I can check
for cheaper then $300?

The CL-S's will bolt right into the Accord. And while I hate to advertise their site, check out www.acura-tl.com for really dirt cheap prices.
