FYI: RRM rear sway bar on sale for $199

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

My Kizashi is AWD so I'll take measurements of the stock sway bar during the install. I wasn't aware that Suzuki used different bars. Has anyone else installed this on an AWD model?

Also, what stiffness are you guys running the sway bar at? I'm thinking of using the softest setting first

Yep, I got me a new measuring caliper and I was reading it wrong. Actual is 15mm.

Is the RRM bar adjustable, I thought only the Whiteline version was?

It's hard to tell from the picture, and I'm unable to find a higher resolution picture, but it looks like there are two positions

But then again, the URL of the picture indicates that it's for a Honda Civic :?

Edit: Yeah, the picture is incorrect. It looks nothing like the Whiteline rear sway bar installed in this picture:

My (hazy) memory tells me it's only got one position? I was evaluating the two a long time back and ended up with the Whiteline - which has (actually had- the softest setting was cut off due to clearance issues!) three settings.

I run my Whiteline on the "medium" setting hole.

I received confirmation from RRM that the rear sway bar will be discontinued once it is sold out, along with other Kizashi specific parts. Very saddening to hear but it is understandable. I appreciate that they acknowledged us in the first place!

I guess it's now or never. I may buy one too. I wonder how many are in stock.

"Low stock" is what I was told, but I don't know how many units that means. Now or never is correct though...

Anyone who enjoys driving and likes to corner enthusiastically would be mad not to buy one. For the money, it's a dirt cheap handling upgrade.
