good price for 05 sway bar

[thomwootton19]

Hi guys, looking for an upgraded sway bar for my 05 Euro, cant seem to find any price parity? does anyone know where the good deals are in NSW? or happy to buy online?

Any help will be much appreciated!

In return can do a before/after video?

C'mon guys has anyone got a sway bar on their euro?

rear or front?

i see someguys use comptech and whiteline.

whiteline is 18mm apparantly not bad,

comptech is 22mm and the have been reported to break the mounts since they are too stiff.

Progress 22mm comes with new mounts doesn't it?

Anyway, cheapest would probably be OEM TL bars? At least the bars themselves are cheap, but obviously shipping wouldn't be.

The mounts are on the subframe i dont think they are replaceable since they are welded on. unless you replace the whole subframe, i think u can only beefen it up
can you find a pic of the New Mounts?

Could be wrong, just recall reading something about drilling.

[thomwootton19]

OEM tl bar? That's an Acura model isn't it?

Fits euro?

[safetycar]

Yes. TL Type S rear is 20mm and the standard is 17mm. Believe the fronts also fit, however the bolts are 12mm instead of 10mm. Both fronts are 27.2mm with the Type S being solid and the standard being hollow. The bars themselves are only US$40 or so each for the solid ones.

Mate thanks so much you're a genius! Now where to buy....?

[thomwootton19]

Oh and what year(s) of tl

[safetycar]

20mm Rear Bar: 52300-SEP-A11
17mm Rear Bar: 52300-SEP-A03
27.2mm Solid Front bar: 51300-SEP-A21
27.2mm Hollow Front bar: 51300-SEP-A01

Also need brackets, bushes, etc. and you might also want to get the updated rear endlinks. These come standard on facelift models?

For the front, as I said the TL uses 12mm bolts where as the Euro uses 10mm, so either need to use TL endlinks and drill out the mounts to 12mm or use some kind of press on washers on the bar for 10mm bolts. Also supposed to be a bitch to install. Where as the rear just requires bending an exhaust hanger.

Heeltoe sell them. Otherwise use the part numbers, but you might have trouble with shipping outside of the US.

wow thanks mate!

genuinely helpful, if you had a feedback form i would definitely recommend you!

[thomwootton19]

Okay guys put an order in for the whiteline 20mm RSB today at my local autobahn! Seems pretty well priced when compared to ebay, thanks for the help and will definitely post my review.

It's shipping that usually kills it from the states.

[thomwootton19]

scratch that, guy at autobarn got it wrong and the 18mm is the only one that fits, which is kind of lame. might just buy one off ebay

Give a ring around a few stores

Repco, bursons, autobarn can all get items from whiteline but prices will vary

Okay thanks mate, yeah he quoted me $215 which seemed good so I put a deposit down, then I checked the website and turns out it's wrong and he said oh yeah well you can buy the smaller one for $260.

Not when I can get a progress for 230
And an ultra for $240
