On dezod's website the rear comptech bar with bushings is selling for 98 $. Is that a typo?

Rob rear has 20mm bar from HR springs? I wonder how that is.

Comptech says it includes the rubber component of the bushing on its site what else do I need to mount the darm thing? Will my OEM metal bushing covers fit?

Why is the comptech bar with the tie bar so expensive?
the sway bar 99$, but the combo tie bar sway bar is 399$. What gives?

The tie bar is a marvel. Its mounts to the car's swaybar holes on spherical bearings in it so it doesn't bind, the sway bar is integrated into it with minimal bushing material so its stiff as hell, its shaped in such a way that it doesn't cause any load on the subframe.
The comptech 99 dollar bar comes with bushings that will fit in the stock brackets.
$99 buys you everything you need to mount the bar.

Comptech website has a section for engine build. It looks interesting. Expensive but interesting.

Does adding a front strut bar do anything since the 7th gens come with one. At least the 03 EXs do. It's not where you might think it is. It's that black bar thats back by the firewall. If you look for it you will know what I'm talking about. If you follow it it doesn't connect to anything except for the frame I think.

I think if you thicken sway bar in the front I think it will induce understeer but reduce body roll. Will feel more stable but understeer.

Hotchiks has some nice stuff, they have a hollow rsx 25.4 rear sway bar. I don't if that's gonna fit an EX and it might be to crazy of an upgrade. Originally I was going for 19mm.

Everyone is willing to offer me the progress bar, I want the comptech.

Zzyzx the 25.4 going to fit my car, is it gonna hit my exhaust? I think it might be a little to hardcore as a first mod. I was suppose to get 19 lol. with 25.4 my tail end will be all over the place.

My 19mm hits my exhaust, but I'll still upgrade to a 22mm eventually.

it is because there is no tie bar with it, unless you buy the adjustable $400 one. The comptech bar shouldn't break your endlinks though and is the same size. It really is 6 one, half a dozen another.
