I have the lca and brace combo...searched some but can't find much on what EXACTLY else i need everybody ends up bashing or getting besides the point ... only have stock sway bar for now but planning on upgrading to itr 22mm i know its been covered a million times but none of them adress my situation. I just want to get it done right the first time. All i have is the lca and brace...nothing else ... what else exactly do i need? i know i need endlinks (considering asr or blox but info on which is best needed) but will it work with my stock sway bar/endlinks for now? (till i upgrade to itr) do i need anymore reinforcement on my subframe for the sway bar (heard about tearing out subframe) or is that what the brace provides? feel free to bash but input/help is much more appreciated

 

If you plan on getting the ITR bar later, I would just wait until you do get it. Put everything on, one time...

Once you mount the F7 subframe brace, this is your reinforcement. You will not have to worry about tearout.

Besides the ITR sway bar, you will need the D-brackets, bushings, endlinks, and miscellaneous bolts to connect the bar to the endlinks, and then endlinks to the LCAs. I would stay away from the Heim joint endlinks as I've heard problems with them, such as clanking noises.

Now, you might need a longer bolt (#30 in the diagram) to connect the endlink to the LCA, if that's the case #32 is the same thread, but longer.

You'll also need nylon lock nuts for that bolt.

 

this is what ht should be about ... i really apprecciate the info helps a lot only question now is which endlinks should i use ?

 

Stick with OEM

 

Thank you sir! i'll post some pics when i install!

 

I recommend listening to BlueIntegra above. If your going to go w/an OEM bar you can use regular GSR endlinks and call it a day! In my opinion OEM is the way to go.

Ooooooorrrr you can go aftermarket. There are several brands of after market end links out there...This is the part where I plug ASR. I've used ASR endlinks in the past with spherical bearings yada yada...they can be found all day long for $70. ASR makes a great product, I was actually using their whole kit and loved it.

If you go after market just do yourself a favor and run with a true and "tried" product. Never forget that cheap and suspension should rarely be used in the same sentence...****, in the same paragraph even... Do it right, do it once, and good luck brother.

 

Hardrace makes OEM endlinks (or they're OEM endlinks with Hardrace bushings). They're pricey, but Hardrace makes good stuff.

i'll use the oem ones and if for any reason they don't make me happy i'll change em out to asr or hardrace most likely cheap and suspension? dude i never heard of cheap and car go together...i'm willing to spend money on something thats tried and true.

 

My bad!!! Didn't mean to throw out misinformation.

As posted again, Hardrace makes killer endlinks as well...don't count those out, they may even be more affordable too!

 

I'm sorry, I forgot to post the link where you can buy your OEM parts.

Hardrace endlinks, $48 on eBay

Crap, I might buy some of those Hardrace's when I go back home. That's a good price considering OEMs go for that much.

 

i don't see any misinfo doggy, we're all good! thanks gentlemen i'll post pics when i install!

 

I edited my post about the Hardrace endlinks above, and deleted the original post on accident.

The GSR and ITR endlinks have different part numbers because the ITR endlinks will be wider where it connects to the sway bar. Jewz mentioned you could use regular GSR endlinks, but that is not possible. His post referred to mine before I edited it when I added Hardrace endlinks.

 

really? no prob dude, i just bought the usdm type r sway bar and it comes with everything needed d brackets endlinks ect can i use these? or should i just go with hardrace?

 

If you bought a package, that's great as you won't miss anything. OEM stuff is always great brand new.
