    subframe is part of the chasis, tie bar is installed by undoing the lca bolt and putting it on

    usually an aftermarket subframe brace will act as a tie bar. So no need to get tie bar if you are getting ASR or f7 subframe brace. You get subframe braces when you upgrade to a thicker swaybar so that your subframe doesnt rip, it's not just to strengthen the chassis.

    So yeh basically:

    If your getting 22 or 23mm sway bar then get asr or f7 subframe brace.

    if your keeping stock or something like 16mm and if you feel like it then get tie bar. PM me I might have spoon one if you want.

    Plus tie bar significantly lowers clearance under the car, so if u have a lowered car then u might be scraping on speed bumps. I just got the asr and dc2r rsb. Ideal solution rather than tie bar

    rear hardly ever will scrape.. the front tie bar will most probably.
