Icon2 Am I missing hardware for my 21mm Blox sway bar?

I got my Blox rear sway bar from JHPUSA today, and I looked at the hardware that came in the box, and I feel I`m missing something. Here`s what I got minus the bar itself:

I`m ordering those on Friday. What about the brackets that hold the bushings on the subrace brace? Or am I just being ignorant?

looks like it is missing the d brackets, also I would run this without a subframe brace. I remember reading some where that those step mounts for the d brackets almost act like a tear-out "amplifier"

Yea, I have a BWR subframe brace, so I don`t plan on using the step mounts unless I have too.

Double check the box before you toss it.

I did, I tore the box in half looking for them :/, I even went through the paper packaging and nothing...I`m going to email JHP and ask them to send me the d-brackets for it. I kinda expected something to go wrong since I got all the parts with no issue haha..

The bwr brace doesn't brace anything.

I`m only using it because my friend gave it to me off his EG after he totaled it.

You asked for our help here
https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/17mm-vs-24mm-rear-sway-bar-3066686/

and then you do this? Iʻm done with this guy. Hope you pick up some BWR coilovers to match that frame brace and join the failed suspension group as that other moron we told not to use BWR products. Let me guess, the oem 22mm sway bar a little more expensive than the BLOX crap you bought?

$140 from ICB for a ITR bar.

$160 for blox. Blox does include those stupid brackets, which are useless for this guy.

Hope you didn't waste your money on the Blox spherical endlinks. They are four of the cheapest low quality sweatshop made rod ends you could possibly imagine...

I won't use anything but Aurora bearings these days.

And I said I would email them and ask them about it and that be the end of the thread. I guess I didn`t think that this thread would become a debate over subframe braces...
