Well thats good to know, but regardless, should I still upgrade the endlinks and reinforce the connecting points?

I think the connecting points are more of a concern than the endlinks, but if you've already got the endlinks, you might as well throw them on. As long as they don't rattle

So,i have a 07 EX with stock suspension, got my 22mm progress sway bar,with the parts above(anything missing?),am i going to be safe if i ask the body shop to use everything supplied ?

in other words,did the OP use the same parts in this pic?

^ Originally, I was not shipped those parts, and I had no idea they were supposed to be added into the case, but I did get it sorted out.

So,did you use them later in the install ? and still had the problem after wards ?

[J-Ro]

Yeah basically the bar was a royal bitch to install because I didn't know about the adapter kit, then about a month later I finally got the adapter kit, installed it. I think the LCA bracket broke sometime during that winter, which I repaired in the spring. Then I installed the Corsport endlinks which rattled for about another month, then got replacements from Corsport which still rattled, so I said screw it and went back to stock. Everything was right as rain after that. Until I sold the car

Damn you been though alot , just for that bar

So,hmm maybe you got bracket broken because the bar wasnt installed using the adapter at first ??

i have the bar and the kit and all...looked at this thread later that scared me out to the limit !

noone would buy the bar here....but if i install and something go wrong and weld it ... the car's price would go so low when selling the car..when it is getting checked and they see the welded part...

what would you do if you were me ??

Ex,stock suspension - will never upgrade or buy anything else for the car since im planning on getting a GTI next year.. -

[J-Ro]

Nah, someone else made the same suggestion... I ended up installing the bar basically the same way, I just had to do some customization along the way. Along with some newly-invented swear words.

If you don't want to weld, just use High-rev's strengthening brackets. They're completely reversible.

Ok,so i wonder if the bar would make a difference with the stock EX suspension?

is installing it worth the risk ?

[J-Ro]

Absolutely! For the price, it's a great mod.

[xheartcore_boyx]

70$ for a piece of metal from highrev ???? O___O

[J-Ro]

Meh, can't help ya there

[xheartcore_boyx]

I bet you cant lol

Thanks for all the help man , they shall bring the repping system back ASAP!

[J-Ro]

^ No worries!

I was just putting some more grease on my sway bar cause i dont think i put enough on when i installed it and it squeaked like a bia. well i jacked up the car and started undoing the bolts and i looked up at the passanger side end link and the bracket had cracked like this post said it might i just say for all of you who put a new sway bar on go ahead and reinforce the brackets however you can i wish i would of when i did mine now i have to go get it all welded up and fixed...

[Whocares05050]
