Default sway bar question

I am planning to get Sway bar kits for my 00 DX hatch and i am worried about my sub frame.

I heard CTR sway bar would tear the subframe. Well i am planning to get even thicker sway bar(i haven't looked in to it, but probably 26~30mm).

Anyway my question is, the subframe will tear apart whatsoever the brand i choose rite? So, which means I should get new stronger sub frame when i am getting the kit?

Thank you

I would recommend them for sure. Mine is coming in the mail(holiday weekend so will take longer than usual) Charleston answered all my questions quickly and went above and beyond when it came to customer service. I have to say that this company is GREAT!!!!!

weight in the rear would give you better rotation of the car anyways, plus its not every heavy at all, its made out of aluminum.

A slight increase in weight or a busted sub-frame. Take your pick.

Exactly it's a little extra weight(not much) in the back at a very low point of the vehicle so it will help rotation.
