its worth it.. pay $300 for asr brace now.. instead of $1600 to fx a ripped subframe later.
the whiteline one doesnt look like it has the backing plate like the asr.
would still probably rip.
it dosent. What it STILL has is -
reinforcement is mounted on 3 x small "posts" - where the ASR places its force across almost the entire subframe plane. And has a backing plate either side to link and further reinforce the mounting. Sorry we are venturing further off topic.
If you think it is just 'bling' then get the whiteline kit. Just dont come crying when it costs you over $1000 to repair your subframe when it rips out
See a good post? Give it a PQ point.

I havn't had any problems with mine yet....But the old design whiteline kit did rip my sub-frame. Yeah I don't think the whiteline kit is up to the standards of the ASR kit. performance would be on par with the ASR. But then My sub-frame is now reinforced, so should be able to take it. I hope.

i've seen this kit installed on a car that did about 5,000km.
No offense to whiteline but their products still suck.
1) The quality of the brace part is not very strong. You can flex it with your arms.
2) The way the bolt part attaches still is the same design, a few tubes with very light spot welds (the one i saw i could see them bending)
3) The quality of bolts are still crappy.
I'd buy the ASR much better material and quality of all parts.
The Beaks haven't really seen in action, but its not a complete bar and requires drilling so i never bothered.
Just what i've seen.
P.S whiteline's only good product is the bar itself
