Default Any Sub frame issues with 22MM Neuspeed bar with reinforcment brackets?

I know that some people have had issues with cracked sway bar mounting points on their sub frame with bigger then stock sway bars. I just installed the Neuspeed 22MM sway bar and it came with pretty substaintial reinforcing brackets, which I installed. Wondering if anyone has had any issues when using the brackets.

By the way I got to drive the car some more last night and even with the bar in the softest setting there is a marked improvment with the bar. I attacked my favorite exit ramp and the car is now totally adjustable with throttle, I really like how it feels, just feels more "planted". As long as there are no issues when using the extra brackets I think this is a great up-grade for my stock S4.

Cheers,
Jim

Default No problems

The brackets are nice and beefy, shouldn't have any problems. It was without any brackets where people were cracking subframes (and then a slight problem with an early version of the brackets). If you have the updated ones (came out years ago) you should be good to go! Nice bar huh?

Default Cool..bought the bar from Shine
