Did the 17mm sway bar upgrade on my 2006 VP last weekend. Had to get the Acura equivalent of the following parts, since the VP doesn't have a sway bar at all. It did improve the ride a lot.

52300-SDC-A01 SPRING, RR. STABILIZER 1
52306-SDA-A01 BUSH, RR. STABILIZER HOLDER 2
52308-SZ5-000 HOLDER, STABILIZER BUSH 2
52320-SDA-A01 LINK, R. RR. STABILIZER 1
52325-SDA-A01 LINK, L. RR. STABILIZER 1
90002-S10-000 NUT, FLANGE (10MM) 2
90212-SA5-003 NUT, SELF-LOCK (10MM) 2
93402-08016-08 BOLT-WASHER (8X16) 4

Congrats man! great stuff for sure.
By the way, I crawled under my accord the other day to check the front sway bar and how its positioned, I dont think theres any way I can squeze any type of wrench in there to unscrew the bolts that hold the bushing holder

^I did it on a lift and it was still a huge pain. Totally worth it though.

You probably should read the Neuspeed installation pdf that's listed in the 1st post of this thread.

the car has a lot of oversteer now with the tl-s rear. I used to have the base TL before this. But I know how to control it so its fine.

That's why if you do the rear you should do the front.

I did the hollow front to save weight and give it a more neutral feel.

installed...

initial impressions are exactly as hoped. i put in the type-s all around & new moog end links in the rear (left stock up front). i'm glad i bought the new end links, the rear bar & links look like they came off of a go-cart! no wonder why they've had some issues with broken ones.

the body roll is greatly reduced. i've only been able to drive about 30 miles so it's definitely still the initial impression, but i live near a very large rotary & did a few laps around it!

if anyone is still on the fence about this, then get off and get them. the bars cost $130, the links were another $50. for under $200 the car is much less of a mush-mobile.

Quick question about this. I do not plan on doing a front sway bar, but is that 3mm difference going to get the rear end out? I've been meaning to do this for years, but now that this is my daily driver, I'm going to.
