Default 94 civic hatch subframe brace instsll?

Ok I have a 94 civic hatch is there any drilling or fabrication for installing a subframe brace? Also when you buy the progress rear sway bar the 22mm one that comes with endings does it also come with the brace or is that separate?

Where did you ever see that a subframe brace came with the Progress swaybar? OR that a subframe brace needed drilling to install?

Hell, what brace are we even talking about?

I was looking at the reference pic of the progress sway bar so I was just wondering.

And I figured it did need drilling since my car did not come with a factory sway bar. And I'm looking at the bwr brace. I know this mod is mostly for looks but I'm not tracking this car.

And just to clarify a rear tie bar attaches where the lca mounts to the subframe correct. Would you need longer bolts or that depends on the bar?

BWR is NOT a subframe brace. It is a useless tie-bar made to look like real subframe braces. And if I remember correctly Progress states PLAINLY that their swaybar does NOT require bracing. Have you checked the Progress website and read the description? Or called one of their reps to have them answer your questions?

The Progress sway bar does not need a subframe brace. Nor does it come with one.

You don't need to drill any holes to instal a subframe brace.

This post is littered with truth.

I have a progress bar, and it comes with brackets that negate the need for a subframe brace.

I have a feeling that the OP has been looking at the 01-05 kits by accident. They come with a subframe brace.
