    Subframe/swaybar 101 EK/EM/EJ

    Time to clear fact from fiction
    I've decided to create a new thread explaining the differences in subframes and the reason why we need reinforcements in EK's(NON CTR)... NOTE not EG/DC..


    the below is only a guild.. you do what you like as its your car. i know of cars that never ran reinforcements and were fine

    Fact 1: everyone knows you cannot use a 22mm rear sway bar without reinforcements.

    It would either: - tear the S#@T out of your subframe

    - Pluck the bolt holes out.




    Review:

    Whiteline :

    pro's- 3 mount (no plucking)

    con's - places the swaybar d bracket further out giving it leverage to tear you subframe; no linking b/w reinforcements (tie bar provides no twist torsion which is what is needed most).. LOOK AT WHERE THE SWAY BAR MOUNTS TO THE REINFORCEMENT...



    Beaks :

    Pro's - use larger sway bar; keeps oringal mounting width (less leverage for twist);

    con's - no linking b/w reinforcements (tie bar provides no twist torsion which is what is needed most);

    ASR :

    pro's - keeps original mounting width (less leverage for twist); connecting plate for torsion twist purposes....
    YOU SEE HOW THE MOUNTING HOLES ARE ALIGNED AND NOT PLACED ON THE OUTTER SIDE
