Default 22mm rear sway bar Q

So I got ahold of a 22mm progress RSB and I want to install it but Im worried about subframe damage/tear. This car is not tracked, its DD but driven spiritedly in corners. I would like an asr brace but cant at the moment

should i put it on or wait?

Wait.

Believe it or not, most subframe tear-out stories happen on the street, not the track. Race tracks always have better/smoother conditions than the street. The more vertical movement on the LCA, the more stress on the sway bar and subframe.

Wait for the brace before putting the sway bar on. Or you could possibly really end up regretting it. If it was say 13mm then you'd be ok without it but 22mm is too much
