Default Sway Bar Question

I went to auto X last weekend. Some guy there told me that if you have sway bar with diameter larger than 17mm you need to reinforce your fram otherwise your sway bar might just tear a chunk off from your fram. Is that true? How is the reinforce thing should be done? I'm putting 18mm in the rear and 20 in the front on 2000 EK hatch.

Thank You

my oil filter has been fine with my rear sway bar (progress 22mm). my framE has also been ok, i hear having a stiffer suspension helps but its stilll a good idea to make the rear subframE stronger. any one know of any other products than beaks?

I did. Nothing comes up. Maybe I didn't enter the right magic words.

just type in beaks or beaks kit, make sure to check the archives

you will get lots of stuff I'm sure you can find a picture on here somewhere

There is another guy that i have been talkin to about a similar product. I'm not sure if it is available yet or if you would even be interested but here is the link. It is a little more (extreme) race oriented set up, but would be fine on a street car.

just watch the topic when he finishes i'm sure he will post something
