Reinforcement of FD sub-frame

[Kenninho]

Hey I've tried looking if there is a need to reinforce my subframe if I upgrade my sway bars to blox sway bars. But couldn't find anything, I heard some sway bars can weaken the subframe, hence they get ASR/Sway Bar kits...

Can anyone enlighten me?

front swaybar requires no upgrade , as it sits underneath the subframe which reduces "plucking"
But rear is held by pissy little mounts...that appear to , in time pluck out.

Refer to this picture of a ultra-racing 19mm rear swaybar upgrade Note it reuses the existing mounts which MAYBE ok but anything larger greatly increases strain on this section. Perhaps research some reviews of this product ?

go to corsports online, they sell a bracket for the sway bar since the large ones that the yanks use can tear the subframe/bracket since it's too weak

else you can get one fabricated for cheaper im sure.

I got mine from RedShift for US$40 + $15 P&H. Great service and fast delivery using USPS from the states. You cannot feel any difference after installation, it's just adding a peace of mind knowing that you will not get unwanted surprises from installing thick rear bar and taking corners like a maniac..
