Default Ep3's cheap suspension mods, from mother Honda...

Ok, so I wanted to get the sway bars off the type S used. I figured I would find out the price new first. I just called my Acura and the front is 45 and the rear is 39. Suprisingly cheap coming from Acura!!! Works for me. Im going to get them both today. Maybe this will help with used sales for more then these prices. Or maybe its just my Acura. Just trying to help everyone save some money.

Who quoted you $45 for the front? I was quoted a lot higher.

Yes, I was happily suprised... I live in S. Florida and my Acura gave me those prices... The bar is 19mm for 1st question.

FYI http://www.polepositionproducts.com/ has the JDM (CTR) rear sways for $90. (22mm)

I've got one coming in the next few days, and should have it tested out on the street and auto-x course twice by the end of May (with the stock front bar).

I'll let you know how it goes.

You are trying to buy it from the same person from whom I got mine.

He might be following my lead instead of yours.

There wasn't much information at the time, so I told him to send me everything out the drawings that it looked like I could possibly need.

I got the sway bar, drop links, bushings, bushing braces, and all related hardware.

He might be assuming you need the same thing. We know better now, however, and you might not need everything I told him to send <u>me</u>.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Nope. Two "discount" Acura dealers had the bar only at 90ish dollars. Perhaps they were including drop links, but I couldn't see those being an extra $45.
