Improved handling and cornering ability

Stiffer suspension really makes you feel the bumps in the road more so than stock.

Nice improvement over stock sway bar. Really tightens up rear suspension and takes the "body roll" out of turns, corners, highway on/off ramps etc. Make sure when installed that whoever does it uses provided bushings and does not grease them. Also check end links and make sure bar and suspension is torqued properly. I spent 4 months with a rear ssuspension thumping sound that my dealership could not find nor fix. Ended up replacing end links and getting a tech guy that worked on "tuner" cars to address the problemand he fixed it the first time. This rear end thunosing noise has been a common problem for TSX owners upgrading to this bar so just be aware of this issue.

Adjustable (only a plus if you have adjustable shocks - stock is a good setting!)

-Price, but if you can afford nice springs and some good-quality shocks, this should not be too bad. -Quality? Why not a stock part available from your local friendly Acura dealership? Once again cost is around $100.

The Comptech piece is a very good starting point for making the DC chassis great. If you have one modification to your suspension (other than tires), this should be it. Personally, I find no advantages over running a stock Integra R sway bar, which is what I now run on my SCCA Solo2 car (with adjustable shocks of course); the Comptech is 3 times the price, and the factory end links provide the perfect feel for the Type-R part. Most people talk about swinging the rear end in corners; this is not the point. Look for the adjustment that makes the car the most stable. I have found that with the 22mm rear bar the car is actually less tail-happy -- the rear end can keep up witht the front's motion as you change directions rapidly. The rear end can be suddley stepped out on request, without entering a corner with too much speed in order to command it, and more speed can be carried through the corner. Best of all, this mod makes the car easy to drive fast. Who wants to get embarrased, and who likes to feel great about their skills?

2000 Integra-R rear sway bar and custom mounts I made in my garage

Incredible Suspension Improvement. Tighter Turns Tighter Handling

Get Tires to go with these. I also have springs, but they aren't necessary. Swaybars will have a big impact by themselves.

I needed something to go along with the H&R Sport Springs i got and the Comptech Swaybars were the weapon of choice! This swaybars completely take away the roll when going into a turn, and making quick turns at high speeds on the high way helps too! Along with being able to gun it onto on ramps!!

STock.

Safe, 3-way adjustable stiffness, perfect fit. All the hardware is perfect, just the way Honda would have engineered it. It also looks awesome under the car. When ride up on a civic or integra with this piece bolted up, you know they mean business.

None so far.

Great sway bar! I feel much safer using this sway bar then any other out there. Many people have horror stories of tearing their subframes out using other companies sway bars, but the lower tie bar on Comptech''s system assures that the sway bar has a solid base to mount on.

Suspension techniques sway bar. The Suspension Techniques bar was stiffer, but I ran the risk of tearing my subframe with it so I was always paranoid to drive it too hard.

keep the car balanced during hard corners, works well for its purpose

none really, but upgrading my struts & springs would make my ride a whole lotta better

works good, really felt difference even w/ stock suspension setup, installaion was fairly simple, looks great and works great, worth every penny,

Excellent roll couple with the Si''s front 26 mm bar. Much flatter ride. Much better stability in turns at speed. Excellent build quality. Integrated tie bar reinforces the subframe, stiffens the rear of the chassis, and looks professional. End-links are beefier than stock. Able to bring the rear end around in a turn.

I don''t have the adjustable design. Able to bring the rear end around in a turn, when you don''t expect it.

I love this upgrade!! This bar gives my car (2000 Civic Si) a much flatter attitude and inspires much more confidence in the turns. For the first quarter of a mile during the first test run, I shook the wheel back and forth and a devious grin came across my face. Understeer is greatly reduced, but don''t touch the brakes in a hard turn, the rear of the car likes to come around easily. This may be more of an issue when driving in snow and ice. I love the look as well; many people comment on the integrated tie bar. The tie bar is crucial for subframe reinforcement, it stiffens up the rear, and it looks real sharp. It lets the slower traffic know that it is a high quality piece. Installation was straight forward; it really helps to have a torque wrench when doing suspension work. Who should buy this bar? If you are into Auto-X, you want either this bar or another bar up to 26 mm. If you show your car, this is a great addition. If you like putting on-ramp/off-ramp speed limit signs to shame, you need this! Finally, if you are not afraid to drift. I am hesitant to give any product 5 stars, but this one has earned it! Four stars for value because this can be done cheaper (with a cheap tie bar). It was 350 shipped, but I might give it 5 stars for value for the adjustable version, which I wish I had.

-Crisp turn in! -Adjustable! -OEM Quailty and look -Incorperates a lower tie bar as well, decreasing chassis flex. -Includes everything you will need for installation except a lift and tools!

Have to be careful with torque when adjust swaybar resistance. I almost lost a bolt because of improper torque. Way too much fun around turns... :o)

Wow! That''s all I can say about this product. This swaybar kit is unbelievable! Comes with everything needed to install (teflon tape and lock tight included)and instructions easy to understand if you have a technical experiance. Very easy to adjust tension and suspension clearance for both lowered and stock ride hieght vehicles.
