Rear sway bar/subframe

[dc2screama]

Just upgraded my rear away bar on my integra vtir, with a blox 21mm.
I'm after a subframe brace now to also support it.
Any options out there, eg. Brands?
Thnks

Asr/function7

Aite thanks, Am l better of installing a sub frame brace or can I just leave it without one?

[trism]

you could drive the car forever and not have an issue without one. or you could tear the subframe in a week.

its insurance.

What brand you get is pretty much just based on how much you wanna spend, and what look you want.

personally, id go an ASR

[dc2screama]

Yeah I was thinking asr as well,
Does it depend what asr brace I get, obviously il be getting it for my teg but will they all clear the 21mm sway bars? Or is there different types for different sway bar sizes?

[EG5]

21mm is no problem at all
Do you have D bracket and bushing to suit your sway bar ?
We got ASR subframe brace in stock

[vinhy]

it will clear your swaybar. you can get any subframe brace, but to me it really depends on the strength of the bolts. but asr will work fine for you

[dc2screama]

Yeah I installed the sway bar already, got the d brackets with it, but I used the oem bolts

[mugen_ctr]

ASR all the way, been proven to work, and its insurance guarantee! Heaps of ppl run it, even me, and no signs of subframe tear, purely because its something that has had R&D

2nd best option is Function 7, but cost an arm an leg!

Stay away from beaks.

IF ur cheap alternative, ebay, like BWR or OBX, same design as ASR, but cheaper and fitment is questionable, but other wise, you pay for what u get for.

[dc2screama]

Looks like il be heading towards the Asr brace

Function7 is a ripoff.

Get either a Blackworks Racing (BWR) or ASR. They're about the same price, and they all do the same thing (the genuine ones anyway).

I agree F7 is a rip, its just a girdle LOL, but i guess where the money goes is the CNC machining of the actual bar itself, hours upon hours..... And believe me, CNC maching is expensive and takes yonks if u want a good finish, ive used cnc maching before so im not just talking from my bum lol

[dc2screama]

Does the asr come with everything you need. Eg all bolts,brackets...
I noticed that when I took the stock 14mm sway bar off it had rubber washers on either ends of the bar, with the blox bar I used normal washers not rubber, any problems there?

[mugen_ctr]

yes comes with all nuts an bolts to fit it up, only thing u need to supply is the D-brackets, bushes and obvious the swaybar itself. Once u run this though, u can no longer run oem 14mm swaybar as the d - brackets are way to small.

[dc2screama]

Iv used the d brackets that came with the sway bar, unless your tryna say that the Asr brace won't work with the d brackets iv got on atm?
Are the d brackets the ones that are in the middle, one on the left and other right? Bit of a noob!
Do you have to use rubber washers on the endlinks? Or are normal washers alright?

[mugen_ctr]

ASR doesnt come with D-brackets, the things that hold the Sway bar onto it so u will need to use the blox brackets, except for when u purchase the whole package with the brace itself as well as the ASR swaybar kit, which than it comes with everything to plug and play.

as far as the washers go, it should be fine, rubber is preferred if u dont want noise though, but metal washers with lube/grease would still do the same trick. Metal on metal contact without some sort of grease will wear out very quick, so its a must to put grease.

Depending on the Bush material, u might also need to grease the inside of the bush as well to prevent premature wear for the swaybar bush

Clear pm

[dc2screama]

Aite, the sway bar is on the car atm and I'm using the blox d brackets, but I just need to no if I get the asr brace do I have to change my blox d brackets or do I just bolt up the brace with what's provided with it?

Pm cleared blast

[dc2screama]

Is there any grease in particular to use or any grease will do?

[trism]

yeah, you need rubber grease.

go to a parts store, and ask for rubber grease.

[klr816]

ive got blackworks racing LCA'S and rear sub frame and they are just as good as function 7 & asr.JDM yard & other places wanted $700 for the LCA'S & $ 480 for a sub frame brace.That to me is day light robbery.

[trism]

yeah, theyre also a straight copy.

[dc2screama]

What's the price range on asr braces?

[mugen_ctr]

JDM yard sells em, but maybe u can try ebay as well, prices will be cheaper as well. IMO, if u wanna save money, go for ebay an get it from USA. But make sure the seller is a authorized seller of ASR or else u mite be stuck with the fake copy.

[blastnpast]

$220.00 for Genuine ASR & Blackworks Subframe braces or the F7 from $375.00 from
JDMaccessories.com.au

Just found a site that had them for $170

[dc2screama]

By the looks of it they look like a genuine asr brace,correct?
If I order this kit all iv gotta do is bolt it up? With the sway bar iv got on atm Or do I need other parts..

[x3cindymichael]

watch out for fakes of the asr there some ways of telling just google it up. but yeah i'd go ASR OR if your got the $ and want the looks function 7 i had function 7 in my eg always looking blinging but was pretty costly. blackworks has its ups and downs according to most people who have used the product. but yeah don't waste your money on a fake just keep a eye out for a good deal.

[dc2screama]

Thanks, yeah il google it.
Might just order the Asr brace from weak sauce..

[blastnpast]

Just want to clarify that yes jhpusa is a genuine distributor of those ASR braces. Just a headsup if you want the ASR sooner rather then later go JHP if u want to wait over 3 weeks for it then go WEK

[dc2screama]

Jhpusa it is! Thanks blast

[blastnpast]
