Well, after sending email to both comptech and neuspeed with no reply whatsoever about rear sway bars, I decided to search for somthing local.

To my amazement, Whiteline actually supplied rear sway bars for the Euro. Here's the email I got:

Hello Victor,

Thank you for your interest in Whiteline suspension components.

We do have a listing for a rear sway bar to suit your model vehicle, the part number is # BHR80, with a retail price of $228.00.
However we do not have a listing for a strut brace to suit your vehicle.

I hope this helps you.

Regards,
Wayne Cunningham

So there you have it. Hopefully I'll be getting one installed soon, along with Baboo's Eibach prokit :D

I really don't know. The swaybar isn't even listed on the online catalogue. I think I'll email them and ask.

This sounds promising. It might make it easier to get things for the euro when shit starts to come out. Just like Fulcrum's camber kit.

I've been too lazy these few days. Just emailed them about the specs and hopefully I'll get a reply soon.

The rear swaybar is 18mm in diameter.

It's a little thicker than the stock one, and that's no more than 10mm the last time I looked.

Does anybody know if the rear swaybar on the Acura TSX in the US is different to the Australian one? Comptech's rear swaybar is 22mm and they say the stock one is 15mm?

No comments here on whether the swaybars are tubular or solid either which can make a huge difference to both their weight (obviously!) and their torsional strength. Safe to assume they're all solid?

thanks

The CL7 & CL9 suspension is different so will the CL7 sway bar and strut fit on a CL9 ??

Just wondering because i know CL7's suspension don't fit on the Euro because D2 suspension gave me the Euro R's D2 suspension and it wouldn't fit onto the car...

CL7 and CL9 have different suspension? I obviously thought that they'd have different shock and spring settings but not anything else, how exactly are they different?

thanks

CL7 and CL9 suspension parts are compatible.

they are basically the same chassis. even the size of sway bar is the same.

I'd like to try the whiteline sway bar.

When i got my D2's they accidently sent me the Euro R's Front suspension.. It could not fit because the top ring bit was to small to fit into the normal euro so it couldn't get to the socket... In the end i had to wait while for the normal euro front suspension from D2....

Thats why i was asking.. But then again a strut brace should fit on all euro's anyways...

That's strange, I fitted the suspension for CL7 with no problem.

yes, cuzco has FRONT strut braces http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_media3/e_os.gif(around AU200)
and they do have lower arm bar http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_media3/e_lowevo6.gif (around AU250-300) for CL7, CL9
but not sure about sway bar http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_media3/e_stab_1.gif.

another choice of sway bar
TK-SPORTS (team kunimitsu japan) have sway bar for CL7.
here is da link http://www.9231.com/products/catalog/pdf/stabi.jpg
not sure it will fit CL9 or not... but base on what baboo said. it should be ok.

over $700 buck + duty and shipping cost....a pair of sway bar would be around $850 when it lands here...not really worth it.

Has anyone out there successfully fitted the comptech sway bar to a Euro?

Whiteline used the original rear anti-sway bar from my Euro to make their bar. My car's sway bar was destroyed as part of the process. My previous car was a 2002 Civic hatch and Whiteline made a bar for that from my Civic's rear anti-sway bar as well.

Just thought I'd ask this here instead of starting a new thread...

Whats better... Comptech rear sway bar or Whiteline's rear sway bar?

cheers

Comptech I would say...I remember crapdaz said he had a hard time installing it. I have the progress bar which is 22mm and it's been going well for 6 months.

There are guys on Acurazine with the 22mm bar that have cracked the swaybar mounting points on the chassis.The OEM endlinks are also prone to break.

Oh I thought you were referring to the driving experience :p

The 22mm Comptech RSB was actually the first mod I did and I haven't experienced a problem with it. Maybe a dodgy install could have caused their problems? Or Maybe I've just been lucky thus far...
