Eibach rear dc5 sway?

Hey guys, I was wondering if an eibach rear sway for the 05-06 rsxs would clear a stock exhaust..

Amazon Product Page

I'm gonna use the progress adapter kit, since I have a dx, and it comes with adjustable endlinks, but I dont think the bar is adjustable.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

mine are progress, they did "clank"

the exhaust did hit right in the curve of the sway (not shown, it's right on the right of the picture...
it also hit on the exhaust curve above the sway.
not sure how the RSX will fare, much less a eibach one.

hmmmm, cause I know people get the 19 and 21 mm oem rsx bars to fit with no problem, the eibach is 25mm, so i figured there would be more than 2mm clearance between the 21mm rsx and the exhaust.

I got an amazon gift card for selling my textbooks from last semester, and unfortunately they only sell eibachs rear sways.

Did you get the adjustable 24mm progress or the regular 22mm, cause I know some people got the adjustable 24mm and/or adjustable endlinks and were able to make it fit.

I have the regular one for 02 civic (one endlink hole), stock endlinks (no adjustments in the length).Sorry, don't know much details on that - there was only one option when i bought, and they were for civic's.

Hmmm, I may just have to buy the civic one, even though its unfortunately smaller than the rsx oem, but atleast its stiffer over stock, even though ive never even experienced a stock one, lol. thanks for the input.

Re: Eibach rear dc5 sway?

I already had the eibach springs before the sway, so can't tell you how it is with your car, unfortunately.
Many install the RSX-S stock and are happy, is what i know.
You can also wait to see if someone that have them butts in
