Default RE: EK sway bar question

i would imagine that the subframe kit on an EK isnt to difficult to install since the mounting bolts are towards the outside and easy to reach. http://www.beaksproducts.com/SRK_EK_...forcement.htm#
the 2nd pic(in the middle), u see how its put together. the subframe is kinda like sandwichedinbetween the thick golden piece and the thin golden piece. all it is, is added metal to the stress point to prevent tearing.

the difference will be noticeable from 13mm to 19mm. still, 13mm is better than no sway bar and 19mm is a lot better than both.

The kit I got was specificaly made for my car and they gave me a box with a crap load of parts. In the instructions it talks about drilling holes into the flat plate they provided. Is that the same as the sub frame brace?

the 2 silver plates on the top middle look like they could be some sort of bracing tho look a bit to thin..

those plates look like backing plates for the d-brackets.

I have the ST kit and I did have to drill holes... I got the bigger one though, with the tie bar.


just read the directions, repeatedly. I was nearly finished with mine when I realized I had a pile of extra parts and I had misread something earlier.


you will like the improvement you get over no swaybar [8D]
