True. I believe it's all the VP's.

It feels more stable with the thicker RSB so it's a good upgrade for anyone that wants better handling. 

RSB, bushings and supports only $56 from acura dealer.

remove 6 bolts, put in new sway bar tighten 6 bolts and done.

put car on jackstands for more room to work in.

[CrackerTeg]

Nah. Its more fun when the car is dropped and you don't jack it up. Oh yeah! Lets not forget about the rounded allen heads on the original endlinks. Fun stuff.

This. The biggest pain in the dick ever. Great cheap mod though.

Oh yeah, I'm way late to the party but, Welcome!

A torch fixes those mofo's real quick!

lol lucky for me everything went smooth. i even replaced a broken endlink on the front sway bar before i replaced the RSB. Endlinks are 18 bucks a piece from the dealer. If you have rusted endlinks with rounded off hex bolts you need to buy new endlinks.

wish i didn't get a damn rash on my hands every time i work on my car though.

If you guys have bitch hands like me, you gotta wear gloves. lol

The OEM ones are shit. A lot of the guys that replaced theirs have used Moog ones with great success. I haven't replaced mine because they still work and I use vise grips instead of allen wrenches like a bauce.

[06accordcoupe]

Yeah on the endlink i replaced i broke the four dots and grabbed the metal part with channellocks. Not quite like a bawz. lol

OEM endlinks r fine with me, i think they're supposed to break in case you hit a huge pothole like i did. you replace the endlink instead of the sway bar. I figure if the endlink doesnt break the sway bar is gonna bend and then you would have to replace the sway bar, but what do i know i'm not a mechanic.

gonna get a strut bar now. what brand you recommend, Z?

[CrackerTeg]

Honestly, OEM 6 speed. Best bang for the buck.

The sway bar will not break under normal road conditions.  It actually acts like a spring, so it's under tension.  Do you have a front sway bar?

[06accordcoupe]

Yeah i got the stock front sway bar, but i replaced the endlink that broke when i hit a pothole a while ago. The FSB is still ok.

Drove on a twisty road today and man that was fun with the new RSB. My brother drove it after i installed the RSB and he was impressed, he usually drives a truck though. lol

Was debating whether to get the neuspeed or OEM 6mt strut bar and I'm leaning toward the neuspeed strut bar cos of easier installation.

[timot_one]

I have both.  The OEM one isn't much harder to install than the Neuspeed.  Also, I meant have you upgraded your front sway bar.  It appears that the answer is no.  You may want to consider doing that.  It's well worth it if you want to reduce oversteer.

[06accordcoupe]

I wanna do a few other things before i do the front sway bar.

strut bar (neuspeed)
front lip  (oem hfp 03-05
new rims (undecided)
j pipe      (undecided)
paint job

as long as my car stays reliable i'll keep modding

[06accordcoupe]

Found a polished neuspeed strut bar and installed it today in the morning. Easy half hour install, with my brother's help.

  Car's paid off 

I'm happy to post that today I paid off my car 5 months ahead of schedule. I'll have an extra 300 bucks a month for beer and strippers. lol
