Default Suspension and Swaybar question...

So Im getting my V2's installed today as well as my APR Snub Mount. I want to get the Neuspeed swaybar for the rear, I heard many stories that it tends to break the subframes, but now Neuspeed has designed a bracket to eliminate this prob? Should I get one, is this true is the updated bar beter, and do i need one for the front? Which mm should i get 19 or 22? Thanks Mike

Default Suspension and Swaybar answer...and question

I think Neuspeed has addressed this one. A light STFA might help.

Why are you bothering with the swaybar?

Default without the new brackets your subframe could look like this..

i have the 19mm rear one on stock suspension, and was my best mod so far , it made the biggest improvement.

Default AFAIK, the right setup negates the need for a larger swaybar.

Ask Josh/ACHTuning about this.
