H&R Springs Adjustable 28mm Front Sway Bar for 04-08 TSX

H&R Adjustable 28mm Front Sway Bar - 04-08 Acura TSX (CL9)

This H&R front sway bar takes the roll out of the front of your TSX. In a hard corner the body leans, the front tires roll onto their outer edges, and you lose some of the bite and steering precision you'd have if the car stayed flat. A stiffer front bar resists that lean, keeping the front end flatter and the tires more squarely planted, so turn-in feels sharper and the car stays composed when you load it up. It's formed specifically for the 04-08 TSX chassis for a precise, bolt-on fit.

Best Run as a Matched Set

Here's the honest way to think about a front bar, because it's the opposite of what a rear bar does. A rear bar fights a front-wheel-drive car's understeer; a bigger front bar, run by itself, actually nudges the balance the other way, toward more understeer, because it shifts roll resistance to the front tires. That's not a knock on it, it's just how front bars work. The move is to run this alongside the H&R 20mm rear bar so you stiffen both ends together: you get flat, controlled cornering with far less roll everywhere, while keeping the balance neutral instead of pushing. The two were designed as a set, and that's how you get the most out of either one.

Adjustable to Tune the Balance

The bar has multiple end-link positions, so you're not locked into one rate. Set it softer for a milder, more compliant street feel, or stiffer to flatten the car harder for canyon and track driving. Paired with the adjustable rear bar, those settings are how you fine-tune the car's exact balance front to rear, dialing in as much or as little rotation as you want for the conditions. It's a quick adjustment you can make in the driveway.

Built From 50CrV4 Spring Steel

The bar is formed from 50CrV4 chromium-vanadium spring steel, which has the tensile strength and fatigue resistance a sway bar needs to take repeated hard loading without taking a set or fatiguing over the years. H&R heat-treats and shot-peens each bar to increase surface hardness and extend its life, then powder-coats it for corrosion resistance and a clean look. It's made in Germany to ISO 9001 and TÜV standards.

Maintenance-Free Bushings

It rides on Urethane/Teflon composite bushings instead of soft rubber. The Teflon content makes them self-lubricating, so there's no greasing and no squeaking down the road, and they hold the bar firmly for a crisp, immediate response rather than the vague feel of worn rubber. Fit and forget.
