Taking interest in Eibach Rear sway bar

This has been a LONNNNNNNNNNG time coming.. If we can get 50 people serious for the sway bar eibach will make it for us.. Price would be around the 150$ mark this will be a once in a lifetime deal since no one makes them for our vehicle.. and knowing eibach they wont make it again unless they get 50 people to do it again.. with that said it will be a super rare part to have..

rear sway bar should fit 07-12 models as well


Ill Start off the list as being number one

also to add if we do get closer to that mark they will need prepayments which would be handled through heeltoe if it comes to that point

ooh... very interested...

Think there'd be any impact to SH activation?

Heel toe just told me he had relocated out of the area.. not sure where too though.. at one point Marcus seemed interested in working towards a camber solution too.. wonder where he went.. maybe i'm still close enough for R&D

shouldnt impact it may even help..

Marcus is here in oregon.. he had mentioned a rear camber kit but figuring it out is a bit tricky.. the toe is the real issue that eats the tires.. possible thoughts of an ingals adjustable ball joint come to my mind

also to add the awd doesnt really activate unless you are on the gas going through a corner.. so for getting in and out its a nice step up.. from the wimpy stock one we have

I already have Eibach springs. Will the RSB effect the endlinks? I haven't had any problems (yet) with my endlinks and I push my RDX hard in the corners. I had to replace/upgrade one broken endlink on my TSX and I just have a Progress RSB, A-spec suspension, and OEM size wheels. RDX endlinks are longer (maybe more stress on them) and look just as wimpy as the stock TSX ones. Camber kit and thicker endlinks would be a nice addition to the group buy.

you can always get adjustable endlinks.. then you can tune the sway bar alittle more. its what i was planning to do since the endlinks do look alittle small in diameter.. anyone know if the coilover kits come with new endlinks? if so any different in stock vs the others?

my guess 5-7mm bigger, stock is about 19mm so i would think around 25mm will be what they come up with.

If I can make this work from up here in Canada, as in who and how to pay, I can get it shipped to a friend stateside. So I'll hopefully be joining in soon. A stiffer sway bar would be sweet.

count me in as well -


are most of you guys already running springs/coilovers and feel you still need the larger bar - I realize they perform two separate functions but ultimately cornering feel can still be improved?

I'm assuming it was just rear bar. Are we going to have the options for front and rear replacement?

front really doesnt need it.. its pretty thick if anything it would need a strut bar but not sure how one would work since our front struts have plastic covering them

I just saw the pic above and thought the front might be an option.

Looking at the engine bay of the RDX, I don't think a strut bar would be needed because the engine bay cross member near the windshield also acts as a strut bar.

Ok, cool, yeah new poly bushings would be good with some bushing lube (usually included, but wanted to make sure)...
