hey just installed the sway bar and the brackets fit for me...

[Mjrn.]

lucky mofo! I spent hours cutting mine to fit since I didn't have the right bit and my car was on jackstands so I couldn't drive without lowering it (feeling the car without a rsb might've been cool though) lol.

Anyway, it's on, no weird noises, I'm happy, although I wonder how long I have until the endlink breaks *crosses fingers.*

Honestly, I don't feel much of a difference, except with the liftoff oversteer. As far as feeling more "planted"...not so much. *shrugs*

[malditoron]

go faster !

[chaohliu]

i guess the brackets are designed for an lx....

Okay, so we had radicalDREAMZ (09 Si coupe) car in here today to test out the brackets and it appears that the Si has a new trailing arm. They added a bunch of gussets and for some reason they moved that hole just a tiny bit. I don't know if this is going to supercede the old part number and go on all new Civics or if it's just for the Si but we will be slotting that bracket in the future so it will fit on all of the cars.

For now we're asking those of you that have the bracket with misaligned holes to just open that hole up with a drill. With the right tools it's about 5 minutes of work. If you have any questions the best way to get ahold of me is info@progressauto.com.

lol, so you know, if you don't have the right tools, it takes about five minutes to realize it's going to take you hours hahaha. whatever, it's done...

What would be considered the "right tools"? Haven't gotten around to installing mine yet, but given I've got an '09 SI, the brackets need modifying. Using only a drill, I would imagine it's pretty hard to slot a hole that's already there. Those of you that successfully opened the hole, how'd you do it?

Also, did you guys touch up the new holes (trailing arm and brackets) with paint to prevent corrosion?

what i did was bolt the reinforcement bracket to the trailing arm with an endlink and used the existing hole on the trailing arm as a guide and drilled right through

[8thgenInAL]

I have an 08 lx, brackets bolted up just fine, I was going to weld them, but my dad was using the welder so no beans

[Fiji_Blue_FG2]

so this should fit an 06 SI no problem right?

[SiAzul]

^^ Yes, the bar fits no problem, mines an 06 Brackets need to be modified though.

Anybody experienced any squeeking while going over speed bumps? noticed it the other day, Never happened until I installed the RSB

[Mjrn.]

no squeaking here, but I did use the grease they sent me.

[Mjrn.]

although I now notice a fffffffffffffff sound coming from my ws2, I hope I didn't bump it or something during install and caused a leak. I didn't notice this sound though until I had the rear seats down and then after I removed the trunk lining. Too lazy to put the lining back to see if the sound disappears...*sigh*

[SiAzul]

I didnt use the grease they sent??? I read the diy and the instructions they sent and they didnt say anything about it? I got some loctite as well but nothing was mentioned about it anywhere

Step #3 on the front page of my instructions says to use the grease.

[SiAzul]

oops, maybe I overlooked it lol. I gotta put my reinforcement brackets on anyways so next time I have it up for tire rotation Ill take care of it

I have an 07 Si Coupe, would I have to modify the brackets if I were to purchase them from your company? Having to do extra drilling after shelling out $159+ doesn't seem worthwhile for me. Please update on any information.

Thanks!
