ASR Sub Frame Reinforcement Brace Install on EK

[kriZy]

you sure dude?
cause that's the way that the old rear sway bar was in...
and besides that it will it fit into the LCA if its upside down?

[RtN]

yeh mate benn knows best,
here's mine and I put it on the way the stock was on..



and also look at the guys one in post #3.

and yes it can be in the LCA if its upside down.

[Limbo]

doesn't make too much difference i had to put mine upside down cos i couldn't fit the muffler under it otherwise

[kriZy]

Alright, i guess i'll change it.
i'll do it when i have free time.

[kriZy]

UPDATE!
i've changed it back and looked at the picture 10 million times to make sure lol.
all good now. i gotta say it sits really really close to the twin loop muffler, luckily it just makes it. Now i know why Limbo puts it on upside down.

There wasn't any difference with it being upside down but atleast i know its on right.
Kinda feels like it works better upside down imo lol.

cheers.

right way up > upside down.

well done man.

[Alvis]

reviving an old thread but it's a goodie - thanks for all the info guys

Good work kriZy!

Can I ask you what the main difference in handling is - and did you have any other suspension mods when you did it?

Basically what I'm saying is - is it worth it or not? And did you do front sway bars too>?

[Bludger]

alot of the time diy mechanics just guess it and tighten it to whatever they can.

alot of the time many professional mechanics do the exact same lol.

A lot of the time it is totally unnecessary to use a torque wrench and a competent mechanic be it pro or DIY will be able to re-tighten the fastener to the correct figure or close enough!!

old thread but good stuff

ill be tackling this on the weekend... ASR, Cusco RSB 25mm, Hardrace D bushings & Endlinks ..

hope all goes well with the twinloop muffler in the way ...

could i use Moly grease for the D bushings?

[stndrd]

If you are fitting the Cusco RSB it should theoretically come with bushing grease, otherwise you should be able to just go down to repco and buy some white bushing grease

white bushing grease eh? Black Moly grease no good? or too thick?

[stndrd]

Personally, I don't use Moly products. Super pro have white or grey bushing grease and thats what I use (I have an abundance of it at work)
