Taking interest in Eibach Rear sway bar
#290
So I threw mine on over the weekend. Took about 90 minutes and was very easy. Instructions that came with the bar were very easy to follow (hence no pics - instructions have you covered). All you need are some metric sockets (don't recall the sizes but nothing a basic set won't have), a 14mm wrench, and a the instructions say a 6mm allen but I think it might have been a 4. Either that or the labels on my set are wonky. 3 and 12 inch extensions make life easier, but not required. An impact might also be handy if you play in the snow often, but I had no trouble with any of the bolts with just the socket wrench.
I also suggest you lift the ass end nice and high as you'll need to support the rear subframe with a jack while you do this, as it's much easier for maneuvering if you can slip the jack in from between your jack stand and rear tire rather than from the rear of the car where you'll be working.

I just dropped off my RDX at the shop to get the RSB installed. I also have additional parts for suspension being installed because I ride has deteriorated a little bit at 118,000 miles. The shop is going to install KYB shock/struts, Progress RSB, new front/back endlinks, and moog front stabilizer bar bushings (install new Conti DWS tires over the weekend).
Might be this weekend before I can really give her a test drive and report back.

I have a lifetime alignment with Firestone for all three vehicles. It has paid for itself over the years. All vehicle seem to be a touch out of alignment every-time I take them back 1-2 times a year.

Nice, I wish I had done that on my previous car! I was always playing around with the suspension and it was hard to get more than 20k on a set of tires.

I got my RSB installed+alignment. I also did new tires, shocks, struts, front camber bolts, and endlinks. I forgot to tell the tech which setting and he put the RSB on the softer settings. The soft setting still stiffer than the OEM RSB. The tech said I could bring it back at not cost if I wanted the stiffer setting later. I will give the new suspension some time to break-in a little bit more and the weather gets warmer. We went from the 70s last week to upper teens today (near 0 with wind chill).

Met up with Marcus aka Mr heeltoe over the weekend and had the RSB installed. We were going to do a DIY for it but it comes with instructions and pictures that Progress had did themselves which are clear and easy to follow.
Went straight to the stiffer setting just to get the full effect of the solid 22mm RSB. Overall I'm impressed with the product. Can definitely feel a difference from the tiny stock bar. Well worth it and had a great time taking back country roads home.
Thanks again Marcus for the product and installing it!
