You will have to order it directly from Whiteline. Expect it to be $200 or more when you factor in shipping and duties to get it here. Cost is the main reason why I had to stop the group buy a while back. Your next best alternative would be the new Progress bar that you can get from Rob (toolacpfan).
I've hit the ground once with mine, when I accidently took a speed bump too fast (didn't see it) Other then that I love mine. Stiffened up the entire car so much. I have the AGX/GC setup on mine aswell (300/300)
I'm not aware of any fitment issues. Mine went in without a problem and left plenty of room for a larger (read 3") exhaust.
I think he meant that the Progress LCA brace has fitment issues. Mine didn't, fit in just fine, but I stripped a crossmember bolt because I didn't follow the directions, which state to fully tighten the crossmember bolts prior to tightening the LCA bolts onto the bar. Luckily the threads are still okay on the car, it was the bolt's threads that got ruined. So I bought a new set of 4 crossmember bolts and plastic washers for $15 at the local dealership. I have yet to put them in. The Progress LCA brace barely hangs lower than the crossmember, like 3/4" so unless you're already rubbing your crossmember, you'll probably never have problems with the LCA brace.
...which state to fully tighten the crossmember bolts prior to tightening the LCA bolts onto the bar.
I got the crossmember bolts to not even hand-tight then torqued the LCA bolts, then torqued the crossmember bolts - no probs (thank god!).
as for Progress fitment issues, I am the only one w/ an issue, and that's because my motor mounts have sagged (it looks like the passenger side MM center bolt is probably resting directly on that center metal cross bar inside the rubber itself), I figure the motor is prob. a half inch lower than it should be. If you have inserts, I wouldn't worry about a damn thing, aside from rusty suspension bolts and adjusting the bar to fit.
So far only Rob and I have intalled ours, he has inserts I don't, I have probs he doesn't - so there really aren't any "fitment " issues
It's too bad whiteline took so long to do the development. I remember it was supposed to be a quick deal when it started in early 2003. How many units were sold in the group buy?
