The Acura TL and Accord have the same platform so lots of the suspension
parts are interchangeable.

The TL comes stock with a 25mm front, 17mm rear sway bars and the Accord has
a 25mm front, none/14/13mm (DX/LX - 4cyl/V6).

Although the Accord has a nice firm (European) ride in a straight line in
leans excessively in the corners. After reading about the same handling
concern in a few Accord forums the consensus was to install the TL rear sway
bar. The TL has both the 17mm and 20mm rear bars but the larger rear also
comes with a larger (27mm) front.

The people into 'ricing-up' their Accord go with the 20mm bar as well as
larger wheels, strut braces, coil overs and stuff that I ain't planning to
do.

The obvious choice for my driving style and otherwise stock Accord was the
TL's 17mm bar.

I does make a BIG difference and the parts are very reasonable priced from
an Acura Dealer. Total cost was less $70can which included the bar,
bushings and bushing holder.

(my bar was delivered with a Honda sticker on it. )
