Ultrprince...do you sell these bars along with the mounting kit...I've been trying to get one now for months with no luck. I would hate to have to get the comptech one and pay all that $$$. But I might have no choice at this point.

you can order the swaybar from your local acura dealer for less than 100 bucks. the mounting kit you can order from honda-tech member BSQ ( http://www.geocities.com/bretq ). he has all the instructions on how to install it yourself and it's SOOOO worth it!!!!

I already cleaned and sanded the bar, so it should be pretty clean. But, you may want to wipe it down with some lacquer thinner before painting it to remove any oil, etc. which may remain.

Not a problem. I recently did this for someone else and I mailed them all in the same box. Send me an email (bretq@yahoo.com) or IM and we can discuss it.

Which of these would I need if I have a GSR swaybar on my car already? Thanks.

are there any negatives of adding an itr rear swaybar? does it add too much oversteer or anything? what about that and a [diy] trunk brace both? seems to me that itwould cause a lot of oversteer, esp if you still used the stock front swaybar. is it recommended to upgrade that? im wanting to get at least the itr rear swaybar, i think it would compliment my koni yellows and GC coilovers nicely.

It does not make the car oversteer. It makes the car understeer less, which inexperienced people think is oversteer, but it's not. If the car does actually oversteer, then that's the combination of the sway bar and other upgrades.

The car will be more stable, more responsive, and easier to rotate. That is a wonderful thing for real racers, but there is a reason that the car came from the factory with so much understeer. It's not for the average driver or Joe Street Racer. The car will act differently than before, but if you screw around and get in a wreck, it's still entirely your fault.

It is the best mod I have and one of the cheapest. Lots of bang-for-the-buck. Just don't be an idiot behind the wheel.
