the way that tl-s bar is designed, it looks like i have to remove the existing angle brace that mounts to the tower and the chassis and bolt it on to those mounts.
how is the tl-s bar better than the neuspeed + existing angle braces?
is it because the cross bar is welded to the angle braces so the body roll gets dispersed to the chassis better? if that makes sense.
hmm.. one more thing, on a 2000 since its a fairly new model, is it worth replacing the anti roll bars,front and rear, (like the one in your pic). are the aftermarket ones really better than factory?

The Neuspeed is a good bar in itself, but for the 6th gens you can't just ignore the Acura TL-S/CL-S bar. I think the regular TL/CL get's that bar too. Anyways, it's possible to add the Neuspeed bar on top of the Stock Acura bars, so I guess it's possible to do in an Accord :dunno: :

On the sways, yes, aftermarket sways like eibach, etc will increase handling because they are thicker than the stock ones. Sway bars are actually large springs, so the thicker it is, generally the stiffer it will be and will increase handling.
For a moderate and cost effective increase you can just get the TL-S rear sway for $50 to beef up the rear and make the Accord handle more neutral.
