So, I've had this 1994 civic si for 9 years, and we've been through a lot over the years. Well, I had a moderately to low aggressive suspension setup (tein superstreets, spoon strut bars, and srr swaybar kit with tiebar and reinforcement). The car drove great with this setup UNTIL the holes in the subframe that held on the reinforcement toreout. Since then, the car sways and rolls in turns like you'd expect, as I had to remove the sway bar and reinforcement stuff.

I'm now wanting to return to the days of stiff cornerning and that means adding a sway bar once again, and reinforcement. Now, the fix that I performed when it tore out last time was I brushed off all the dirt, I hammered the ripped metal back in to normal, and I welded sheet metal over the holes. I know the ASR brace requires drilling out the welded nuts anyways, so do you think it would be disasterous for me to just drill holes where needed on mine and use an asr brace? Thanks in advance.

 

No one??

 

Might as well. Best case it works fine. Worst case it tears again and you just have to get it rewelded, or get a new subframe welded on.

 

I have the same problem, just found out today. I have a '94 Civic sedan. Will be removing blox 21mm sway tomorrow.
