Got my RDX back from the dealer (again) finally. 2 days short of 6 weeks.
Long story short, I'm calling progress tomorrow to set up a time for fitment and testing. The sooner the better. Last i talked to them we were hoping for this upcoming week.
I had been in touch with them while I've been having issues, but it should be squared away now.
I'll write all about my resolved P0172 code in my other thread....but I got some chipotle calling my name right now.

I am really excited about this! I don't have an RDX yet but I have been doing my pre-parts research and was pretty upset that there was no available rear sway bar upgrades anywhere. I already plan on 20" rims with at least 255 wide tires, tinted windows, front spoiler, and rear diffuser....... doesn't take much and I already have a list going......hmm Led tail lights available?.....

Never, I was hoping for solid red but still LED style tai lights with LED light bar type effects.

Not so much '98, but 2001 and up. The kids that couldn't afford an IS back in the day didn't start buying shitty Altezza lights until the movie "The Fast and the Furious" came out, at least around here anyway. But, lame either way; don't kill the RDX with that crap... Oh well, to each his own...

fads must take longer to reach inland more =) here on the coast it started when the 98 lexus IS came out people wanted taillights like them so they started figuring out ways to do it i guess 1999 is when it really started taking off more and 2000 it blew up which led to the F&F movie in 2001

And around here the IS was nothing. The Civic Si '99 which came out in '98 was the car to have if you didn't have the money for a Supra, RX7, 3000Gt VR4, or 300zx. I personally saw them '97ish while playing Gran Turismo.

It feels fantastic.

I suspect everyone will be very happy very soon.

On the short trip home through traffic i was only able to hit a couple good on/off ramps. It's on the stiffer of the two settings. I'll have more opportunity to hit some nice freeway sweepers here tonight and check it out.

They did mention trying to get them going out asap.

I don't even own an RDX yet and this made my day! Awesome!

As others have said, any info on pricing yet and will they be doing this in mass production and offer it on their site or will this be just a one off limited run?

Damn!, I really need to hurry up and find an RDX then.
I am a guy who likes my SUV's to handle like cars, can't help it. This mod is automatically a necessity for me. will find an RDX soon.

this will most likely drop in the new year... should be around 150.00 for those that dropped 50 already a total of 200.00 +shipping? I hope if its ridiculous $$$ its going to suck...

So after a few days of driving around with the sway bar. Can you tell us your overall impression?

I just called Progess and got word they are going to bent soon (next week some time) and the brackets are being fabbed now. After coating/plating/packing we expect to be picking up parts around the end of the month.

consider me in! I'm not known for frequent posts, but I'm gunnin' for the set of BC Racing coilovers, and this sway bar - along with a complete set of urethane bushings - would just about set my suspension up. The RDX is my wife's daily driver, but we just paid it off, so the money funnel's now emptying into it as opposed to a car payment!

Ha nothing's better than getting that money free'd up!

Don't forget Heeltoe can support you on anything available for the RDX. We have the suspension on our site.

Just got my call from Marcus at HeelToe. Our deposit will be converted into store credit and we can apply it toward the purchase of the sway bar. Just waiting on email for store credit code before making the final purchase and waiting for delivery.
