I would get a rear brace to strengthen the chassis other wise you will more than likely have your sway bar riped out
i personally think the ASR brace is the best and its enough, however i personally run the ST brace and ST 22mm rear sway bar on my ej6 with no problems if your that concered about subframe damage just make sure your rear springs are stiff too so your sway bar isent doing all the work, im sure dino can chime in and give some info too
Right now I'm using Eibach springs, do you think that they are stiff enough?
telling us what brand of spring you use wont help ... you need to state the spring rate
I have the ASR subframe kit w/ 22mm sway bar on my EJ9, and I've had no problems at all.
And my car has been on the track, and I've also had my share of 'inspired driving' on the back roads.
Better to be safe than sorry, as you seem fully aware of
edit; must use stiff springs, or else it'll tear out the subframe anyway
I'm hopefully going to be fitting mine in a few days, however I have one small concern. In the picture below, the exhaust runs under the LCA, which is fine, however my Tanabe SMR runs OVER the LCA, and comes back down tight against the standard roll bar bracket.
I'm concerned that once the brace is on with a thicker bar, there's going to be some conflict of space in this area. Anyone had a similar problem? Mainly seems like a problem with the exhaust as it sits about an inch forward of where it should be...
I'm about to install the Integra GSR rear sway bar on my Ej6. Do I have to in stall the front one as well? I don't race on the track and I don't have a B series motor on my car.
