Heavy long right turn and I hear BaDuNk get to Raging Angels house look under my car and see the left side of my sway bar with its guts hanging out and I'm like fuuuuck Even with the reinforcement plates I managed to tear the subrame ... the right side is cracking to. Now I either need to get a CTR subframe put on or do a lot of welding to really strengthen that sh*t ... oh well what can you do ... it really feels different without the sway bar now

 

Welding is fun! Sorry about your mishap. You seem pretty upbeat though...

 

damn Pho,
yoo made one crazy *** turn !
sorry about what happened. . .hope yoo fix it soon or GL on the CTR subframe

 

WHat setup did you have on there?

 

Looks like Apex N1 coilovers, ITR sway, lower tie bar.

 

what lower control arms are those???

 

He said "reinforcement kit" but it doesn't look like he's got a Beaks SRK on there.

 

Well if you missed the picture their SRR

 

Congradulations, thats when u know u can drive ur *** off!

 

Watch the gas tank tho

 

i once had that happen to me, i noticed my bolt was hanging out and the subframe had bent. i didnt look too closely at your pics but if its not that bad i suggest maybe getting the Beaks kit. i got the beaks kit after my ITR sway tore out, and it sandwiched the metal back to normal. Hope that helps. i also have pics of how mine looked. let me know and ill send them to you

 

Damn that sucks my sub is cracked alittle had friend weld her up and wala

 

That looks like a Mugen "reinforcement" kit, which has been known to provide very little actual reinforcement of the subframe, thus...tear-outs. Sorry man

 

Thats sucks Jay... Try the beaks Kit!

 

where do you order the beaks kit from

 

The beaks kit only works with the ITR sway bar .... I am using the CTR sway bar and I drive it to sh*ts everyday I guess that is why it let go ... maybe I should go stiffer on the N1's so there is less stress on the sway bar.

The reinforcement bracket I am using is a good one and have known people to use the 24 mm mugen bar with it. I guess I lucked out and tore mine but I think it is my driving habits.

 

haha! should have gotten a comptech sway.

 

Word

 

I like stay as JDM as possible ... not to say the American parts are bad but its a Japanese car so I like put Japanese parts on it ... it makes the car more unique. Its not the sway bar and the bracket that failed its the crappy construction of the car for North America ... those parts are made for the Civic Type R so I guess yu can say they are fully functional but the wrong application.

Now I need to buy the beefy CTR cross member and have it welded onto the chassis so this will never happen again

 

cant you get a Suspension Techniques or Comptech swaybar/tiebar/reinforcement kit though?

that might be your best bet, but not the cheapest...

 

man i know how you feel same thing happened to me, i fixed mine with a lawsuit against suspension techniques

 

same thing happened to my friend running a rear CTR swaybar. he just bought a CTR rear subframe to fix the problem.

 

yeah, what he said!

 

I have ST sways. What happened to yours?

 

sorry to hear about that.
