Default FBP Si- nice and clean for the weekend

Its pretty much stock- dropped on Ground Control and Koni Yellows, Mugen 22mm sway bar, Greddy Evo, and a piece of **** AEM short ram...I'm saving for the turbo. Here it is:










By the way, the guys over on ClubSI.com told me that I need to get the plates welded to my subframe for the 22mm sway bar, one guy said it cost him like 90 bucks- has anyone else had their subframe plates welded to their subframe? If so, how much did it run you?

You don't need to weld anything to the subframe, but you definitely need to reinforce it using either a BSQ kit or a Beaks kit. You need to toss those brackets that mount the bar away from the subframe because it allows the bar to put excess torque onto the subframe which will eventually cause the bar to rip out. A BSQ or Beaks mount kit will mount the bar directly to the subframe (same as the bar on ITR's are mounted), which makes for no chance of any possible tearout.

You should weld the plates because it definitely does help. I also have GC w/ koni yellows and a mugen 22mm rear bar and had the plates welded for 50 dollars. The Beaks kit on top of that will also help a lot
