Already searched, this thread being the best:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=710807
But, some questions are still unresolved. I'm asking about the Suspension Techniques setup only because it seems like availability if pretty rough on the Comptech piece.
That said, is the ST setup a full bolt-in affair, or is there grinding/drilling/yadayada???
Is it as resistant to tearout as the Comptech setup???
I'm running Koni Yellows and Neuspeed Sofsport (the old ones made by H&R). I auto-x the car and now I'm at the point where I (mostly) know how to benefit from some extra rotation. Will the 19mm setup be a noticeable difference from stock???
Thanks.

I had to drill to get my ST rear sway bar to fit. I haven't had any problems with tearout.

That's what I've read--this is a big plus for the Comptech setup IMO.

It was a big plus when I bolted it in.
I really like mine. I haven't read anything positive or negative about ST's combo and I don't know anything about how the bar fits, but I do know what works and the Comptech works. Try to find a used one for sale, they don't exactly wear out and the worst that can happen is you'll need some new endlinks.

(tried IM'ing you to no avail)
They are a pretty scarce commodity used at the moment. Kind of a bummer. I've been scouring ebay for some time to no avail. You'd think there'd be plenty, with all these Honda guys buying E30 M3's
Your setup looks awesome in the anodized red, though. I just hope I can get my hands on one.

i bought my comptech through h-t member kingrat - if you decide to buy new you should hit him up (and mention i told you so).
i spray-painted the tie bar black. i am the anti-stunna.
Heh, thanks. I got your PM so I imagine you'll get mine but just to be sure.
I got mine used locally so I guess I got lucky. Good luck though, it's definitely worth it. I imagine it'd be a much bigger difference on a less stiffly sprung car than mine.

I have the same setup as SiLooksStock... Comptech sway (mine is clear instead of red), GC's and Koni Yellows. Pretty much your standard setup... I love it!
