progress rear sway and....

well i remember reading and seeing pictures that the progress rear sway actually broke the frame it was bolted to because it was more stiff than the stock si sway bar. will using these: http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...oducts_id=1108 prevent that? or do those have nothing to do with the rear sway bar and i'm confused?

how can i safely add the progress rear sway without having to worry about it damaging anything?

No. You can reinforce the L shaped arms in which the bar mounts on though.

If you're feeling handy, own a welding machine (or have access to one) and like DIY's, then you can weld some washers to thicken the mounting area. J-Ro has done this and I have yet to hear bad news about it (breaking again)

Important info for all those with aftermarket sways!
