Has anybody here used the TL-S rear sway bar on your G7 Accord?

How about the TL-S LSD?

 

I have the sway. It works perfectly and seriously took about ten minutes to install.

Can't comment on the LSD.

 

Does the swaybar complement some other suspension changes, or are you using it by itself?

93402-08016-08 Bolt w/ Washer - Qty: 4 - $0.82 each
52306-SEP-A11 Bushing (20mm) - Qty: 2 - $2.00 each
52308-S3M-A00 Holder (aka Bracket) - Qty: 2 - $1.05 each
52300-SEP-A11 Spring (aka "the bar") - Qty: 1 - $40.90 each

Looks like a very cheap upgrade.

With stock suspension. Quite noticeable on the on and off ramps.

Are you using just the rear bar?

 

i was actually thinking about doing the same along with some H&R springs.

 

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what year TL bar fits the Accord?

 

I know it's not 'comparable', but I put the 2nd gen TL-S rear sway on my 2000 Accord and it improved handling quite nicely at a reasonable price

trans is different so i do not know if the lsd would fit prior to th 04 cars

Yes.

 

The rear sway is an excellent bang for the buck item. I have the TL-S rear sway, Neuspeed sport springs, and Neuspeed front strut bar. The difference is certainly noticeable and I've been running that setup for 2-3 years with no problems or complaints. *thumbup*

Do you know the spring rates you are using? I'm curious about what combination they'd have provided you.

If you have the 20mm rear bar, how do you feel about the car's tendency to point quickly? Do you ever feel it points too quickly in urgent manoeuvres?

I'm thinking about getting both the front and rear bars because I have noticed that in a quick manoeuvre where you are turning the wheel, braking quickly and accelerating, that the nose will come down too quickly on the laden wheel.

I'd like for the car to rotate more quickly, but I also do not want it to come down so hard on the laden wheel in order to promote a smoother transition.

 

hey

i have a 2006 accord v6 sedan. from what i can understand from this thread, i can use the following parts for a rear sway bar?:

93402-08016-08 Bolt w/ Washer - Qty: 4 - $0.82 each
52306-SEP-A11 Bushing (20mm) - Qty: 2 - $2.00 each
52308-S3M-A00 Holder (aka Bracket) - Qty: 2 - $1.05 each
52300-SEP-A11 Spring (aka "the bar") - Qty: 1 - $40.90 each

does anyone have the install instruction for this mod?

 

^ Totally guessing, but I'm assuming it goes something like

1) Go under car (many ways to do this)
2) unbolt old sway bar
3) lube new bushings
4) bolt in new sway bar

Done

not sure on the spring rates. the rear does seem to more prone to kick out in quick manuevering but nowhere near anything dangerous. you have to WANT to kick it out by taking a 90 degree turn and like 40mph. and even when that happens, just stay in the throttle and you're good to go. guess it just takes a little experimenting with it and getting used to the feel. i like the feel it gives alot because it makes the 3k lb car seem a little more nimble and easier to sling around.

haha yea i know, i hardly ever it do it anymore and when i did it would be at a certain location where there was no surrounding dangers in case the worst happened. actually, it retained traction fairly well, i can only remember a couple times when i would encounter a small bump or sling the weight too much to one wheel. was a weird feeling seeing the rpms going up but me not going anywhere lol. but then again, i run the 6spd wheels wrapped in 225/45/17 yoko avs 100s and they seem to grip pretty good.

Kumho ASX 235-45-17 here.

But...be careful. Even if you think you know what you're doing, the slightest unusual circumstance can throw you off.

I drive about 3 hours/day on many days that I work, and I get used to being able to get through sections of road maybe a little faster than most people.

There's a certain right turn that has become a 3rd gear, 45 mph turn even though most people who don't know the road would take it in 2nd and 20 mph.

Well.... I was doing that recently and right when I started the turn in, my car speakers rang for a Bluetooth call. About scared me to death and I was almost on the median....

So... Be careful.

 

will do man. i never treat her even remotely harsh at all anymore, i pamper it every time i drive it now. the hatch takes all the beatings nowadays lol.
