Whiteline

[BlitZ]

Did your car tear out, or did it actually fracture the pickup points as per the pictures of the ek/em's?

I know i had the first reported whiteline case of subframe tearout. In my case (dc2), the nuts were pulled straight through the subframe. Whiteline paid to repair the whole thing, and then installed a new tie-bar and brackets free of charge. I was actually really happy with how i was looked after.

I drove the car around with a 22mm RSB and upgraded mounting kit for about 150k km and never had a problem, that includes numerous track days, midnight national park runs and the usual shennanigans.

eheheheheh thanks slim... they fixed your plucking problem so i thought the reenforcements were also good for the EK..

hahaah I was then the first reported case to whiteline with a subframe ripped out ahahaha...


Guys - Please note... EK and EG have different flaws... EG mounts bar close then control arm bolt whereas EK on the outter

I and I'm sure other's would love a DIY on this
Since the ASR kits a ridiculously overpriced.

Considering the weight, design, R&D and the fact that your subframe isnt destroyed, I dont think the ASR kit is overpriced at all.

Yeah,True.I'm just finding it hard to pay the $325 for a piece of metal even though it is a good investment.Know what I mean?
I think picking one up second hand will be difficult though.
I will just have to shell out the shillings.

Why not run a smaller sway bar if money is an issue?

You know that when you spend that $325 on the ASR kit, you KNOW you are getting the best that works. Not some half-assed attempt at reinforcement.

$325 for a piece of metal cant really be justified, they are taking advantage of our fear!

its a modification , that wont lose its value unlike EBAY CAIs or copy-rims.

You can buy a ASR for "$325" and sell it for a similar price when you have used it

You guys should get the concept of "labour" into your mind. It's not only materials costs. There are research costs, import duties, goverment taxes, marketing costs and the cut that the local distributor makes.

Just pay for it and get on with life.
