And buy the Neuspeed 22mm Sway bar. It is a sway bar and tie bar in one.
Neuspeed part# 25.20.22.1
Most sites have it listed as a Acura RSX part (course it fits both)

Have fun!

How do you like your shocks? Are they super stiff? I'm in the market and can't make a decision?

personally, Neuspeed is a bit pricy for what you get, and the comptech bar is a good quality bar... so.. i'd be cheeper to piecemeal it together, and you'd still have a very high quality setup.

Why waste the money? Its over double the price for no additional gain.
I've been racing on a Comptech bar and a $20 DIY tiebar and I haven't broken it yet. Sure it doesn't look as pretty... but who's looking under the car?

Hmmm, I'm sure you are right, but I can't shake the feeling that you get what you pay for.

Besides I'm not going to waste my money on body kits, headlamp assy, etc.
I'll spend it on what I think to be quality, long lasting components. I'm in this car for at least 4+ years.

Comptech may not be all that well known in the Import world, but in the Racing world they are VERY well known. so quality isnt really an issue.

Yeah, Any "Comptech" Hardware where parts mate to the car is OE Honda hardware They don't even bother messing around with it, they use what works. Some of the Comptech stuff I've gotten looks far better built than the stuff I pulled off the car. They can't charge what they do for parts without knowing what they're doing.

You could also get the ITR 22mm bar instead of the comptech bar.
