Hey guys,

i have a 96 gsr and i was planning on picking up a function 7 subframe brace for it. i was wondering if the tack welded nut in the back of the subframe needed to be knocked off in order to accomidate the brackets for the back of the brace? If any of you guys have had experience with this brace please let me know.

thanks in advance

 

Nope. I installed mine myself, took about 3 hrs (including the control arms) and was pretty much plug and play if you have all the necessary parts.

Few pics of my set up.

 

^^^^ That looks pretty cool with the zigzag all the way across

 

Trust me it looks way better in real time. Especially on silver!

 

Thanks for the info! How do you like the performance? And what sway bar is that?

 

i have the same thing on my rsx. gets plenty of bling points. lol

 

I want this setup... looks SICK

 

Thanks! Performance is awesome. It's the usdm 22mm type r sway bar.

You and me both dawg.

Get it, you won't regret it!

 

does anyone know if they sell this set up for a db1? i know alot of manufacturers dont like making parts like this for us old skool guys

 

you can't go to the website and find out yourself?

 

guess not, just like i thought they dont make them for that car..

Oh I have that one too! Looking forward to pickig up the subframe brace and the lca. What kind of coilovers are you running?

 

I'm running the Tien type flex.

 

You could always try to see if a set for another car could be compatible?

 

On my ASR they stated you needed to remove the OEM nuts welded on the backside, however I found it fit just fine without doing that. Given it added a little bit of difficulty to the install, I didnt like the idea of removing them.

 

If you have an Integra (or Civic for that matter) with the welded nuts in the subframe, you do not need to knock them out. Skip the backing plate and screw the supplied bolts into the corresponding nuts. You do not need the backing plate if the nuts are there.

I messaged Function 7 and they said only the lower control arms will fit your car not the brace.

 

this might sound a little retarded but iv heard that you take out the stock subframe brace and iheard that the function 7 subframe brace mounts to it so i was wandering what you exactly do?

 

Only the integra type r came with a subframe brace. Gsr and rest of models dont have one.

 

i am talking about the piece that the control arms connect to i thought that was just called the stock subframe brace maybe not but whatever it is my question was does it come off? and also does anyone know if i buy the function 7 subframe brace will the progress technology sway bar the mounts directly to the shock bolt on the LCA's will it fit with the function 7 subframe brace on?

 

Its the stock subframe, but no brace on it. Thats the purpose of the function 7 brace, it bolts right in when installed properly. And voila, you now have a brace to support and prevent subframe tearout. And no, it will not come off (the subframe)

 

so does anyone know if i install the function 7 subframe brace will the progress technology sway bar still fit properly

 

If its for gsr (assuming cuz ur name) sway bar then yes it will fit.
