alright so when i was installing my rear foglamp i took notice to my passangerside endlink blown off from the swaybar... to anyone who is familiar with the SRR setup.. the endlink attaches to the lca and on the top of the endlink there is a black bar that runs to the actual sway bar... well the endlink was loosened form that bar.. i have NO idea how the top endlink bolt spun out from that piece... the black piece was extremely tight and that didnt move... the endlink bolt wasnt bent or stripped at all.. i have no idea how vibration or heavy cornering coud have wored this loose. it just seems weird... to anyoue out there with the SRR setup on there EK's give the bolts a good check every once in awhile. mine worked loose and caused terrible steering due to the sway being only attached to one lca. |

Well after what 4-5 months of driving my vehicle, this same thing occured to my SRR setup. It also resulted in uneven stress upon the tie bar, causing small bends in some areas. The bolt itself was stripped along the end, and I'm sure the endlink itself was also stripped due to this. So just thought I would bump this thread back up from the dead, and advise people to possibly use SOME not ALOT of locktight on those bolts. |

Let me know if you can run a rear lower tie bar with the ASR setup.... |

dont need one. it comes with a 6061-T6 aluminum subframe reinforcement bar. pretty much the same thing as a lower tie BAR minus the fact its a big cut piece of aluminum instead of a bar that bolts. |

have you thought about getting an ITR rear subframe and welding it in place of your EK one? the EK one is rather flimsy in comparison |
