Exclamation Well, CRAP! (Sway Bars)

So, ordered the Eibach springs and then tried for the Eibach sway bars. Between 1-2 hours looking everywhere. Finally called Eibach and the damn things are in R&D for the 05-06. They won't "confim" the 02-04 bars for the 05-06 model. (even though that PN is listed as 02-06 on several sites).

So, springs are on the way...a guy is giving me a deal (I think) on installing the springs and front and rear sway bars. Now, I don't have any bars.

So, Willie...you like those you have. Are those ClubRSX bars? I can't find them anywhere else and they are out of stock there. (I swear, they are out of stock on stuff ALL the time!). Can you get them anywhere else?

Any other suggestions for front and rear bars?

Sheesh !!!

Finally found the web site.

I see the rear comes in 22 and 24 mm. I wonder if it's worth the price difference.

Thanks, Willie. Acutally, the OEM site sells them cheaper. Just got confirmation about the PN from Progress. $145 and $179 (but haven't checked out shipping yet).

Agreed.

And when I first read your post of $400 I though that was just shipping... I was about to give you a lot of 's

Naw, the springs are here...the cats use the box as a bed. (go figure). NOPI wanted $249 for them but TireRack shipped, taxed me (warehouse in GA), and sold them for a total of $230. And I got them in 3 days!

But, the sway bars are still in R&D at Eibach for the '06. SO I looked into the Progress bars. Man! They are sold out nearly everywhere! Even the Progress site has a back order on them. BUT, I got them from another place cheaper ($350 instead of $400). Still the same wait. So, the guy gave me a deal to install both items so I'll have to wait till the other comes in.
