What's the thicker one that you're getting? Prograss or Comptech? Will you be selling the whiteline off 2nd hand? ;)Quote:

he will make it to the sizes i want....
can the end links cope with a 22-24 mm whiteline bar?
i know the comptech is 22mm but i think thats hollow?
gonna try get after market links....
hmm cool... let us know how that goes.. i wouldn't mind a beefier setup
Comptech is 22mm solid. It breaks the endlinks. TSX owners usually make their own endlinks or use those from the USDM Accord.Quote:

Is there any benefit in stronger links before they actually break? I think on the US site I read of one broken link and that is about it - so the OEM link doesn't appear to be a problem.Quote:

with stronger endlinks.. that would increase the effect of the sway bar? it would at least give you piece of mind knowing that they are stronger if your going for a thick bar
The USDM Accord has a TSB on broken links. And I've read of more than 1 TSX with broken links, with 1 of them still using the stock rear sway. But I wouldn't change them until they broke anyway.Quote:

Every 3nd person drives a Beamer over there lol... relatively speaking the Acura is like the perfect branded vehicle for modding!
because it doesn't offer 20 or 22mm :( i might b thinking about comptech.
can we get custom from whiteline too? how much?
TSX and the Euro Luxury are about the same price. They are not cheaper when it comes to Hondas that are branded as Acuras there.Quote:

^ true story... i think an m3 brand new over there is only like 60-70k if i remember correctly
yes i can you get the custom one off me... gotta see how much they are first....
What was the verdict on these newer adjustable swaybars versus the older thicker ones? Im keen to get one of these soon so any info is appreciated?
Not available yet (officially!!!).From what i understand???:confused:Quote:

lol! hoang, even the 18mm on the 2nd hole is quite stiff already, I can feel that the balance is good, and upgrading to 30 would be an overkill.. you might lose traction?
That's exactly what i was thinking.You wouldn't want to go bigger than 22mm.Quote:

A swaybar that's too stiff can be more detrimental to handling than no sway at all. There has to be some flex to keep your wheels on the ground -- especially if you hit a bump.
bit off topic.... attempting to install the rear sway this weekend... is removing one of the wheels required? to put in the sway bar? or can it be achieved by just putting the car on a incline and getting under the car and installing it that way?
wheels does not have to come off.
just have to drop the exhaust at the rear. should be able to then take the stock one out, and put new one in...
ahh...dropping of exhaust...meaning unclipping the exhaust of the holders right?....sounds easy enough....
take them off there rubber things
I found it easier to take off the wheel. LOL
lol ill just have to go under the car and fiddle around...hoping i dun hurt myself lol... i need one of those big hoists xD
Just make sure you tighten the bolts when the car is on the ground.Quote:

Removing the wheel is easier, just one side is sufficient to create the space needed.....
trying not to take off my wheels for now lol...got my rims and i gotta get a smaller spanner to take off the lug nuts cos that area of my rim is small and if i put a spanner in and twist it removes the paint on my rim...=\ so gotta get a smaller spanner if thats wat u call it ahhaha...but yeah ill have to see....
thanks for info tho
ah finally installed the rear sway with alot of diffculty....tried someones suggestion of not actually jacking the car up but driving onto an incline....and my golly it was hard lol...man...
ended up unclipping the exhaust to take of the sway and man putting the bolts back on with limited space under the car was a challenge...took alot of frustration and more hrs to do when it should of been more of a 40 min job or so....but with an end result its on....couldnt find that much of a difference...but maybe i was trying tooo hard to see the difference... i think it helps with body roll but maybe i havent taken the corner hard enough to find out... will see how it goes.... and no clunking noises so i guess the bolts are tight enough...
I'm about to get myself the whiteline rsb, and being a noob at installing a rsb, can anyone in Melbourne give me a hand with the install?
Stock is 13mm on the 5AT, it weighs twice as much as OEM bar since the cross sectional area of the 18mm bar is double (189%), therefore, double the metal.Quote:
