2015 TLX 25.4mm RSB upgrade
Posted: April 29th, 2015
the answer to the question of it fitting our car, is YES IT DOES!!!
I order the rsb and the bushings (you will need to order 2) from: Bernardi Parts
just clink on the links and type in the part# on search
TLX rsb 25.4mm:
52300-TZ3-A51
TLX rsb bushings
52306-TZ3-A01 (2x)

next,
I also upgraded my endlinks since my oem one broke off, click on the link to go to their site:
Moog endlinks:
Moog-K750152 (driver)
Moog-K750153 (passenger)

now to picture and some help on installing (WARNING: the TLX RSB will touch the rear subframe of the car, you will need to put a bit of force to make it fit)
^^^ where ever the bar is meeting that subframe, is where its touching,
I had to pull quite a bit to make it fit (gap was about 1") but if i did it by myself using a C-clamp to close in on the gap and bolt it down, if you have a buddy to help, you should have no issue
so far, I don't hear any noise of scraping or squeacking from touching the sub frame, so I think it should be ok
here are the comparison pictures of the 2 rsb (mine is coupe i4)
and here is an easy way to take off the endlinks from the car:
make sure you use the right size tool, so you don't strip that top part of the endlinks, if you do, you'll have to use vicegrip to take em off
well,
I've done the test drive and I'll admit that it almost eliminate most of the understeer that fwd have, and I'm enjoying the back road a lot more
noted* you can also upgrade to many other RSB but for the price I paid for these, I'm very happy with the result
here is a pix of my car just because...
^^^ that brembo though
