So I have a question. Im planning to by the Neo Chrome Rear Subframe Brace for my 95 4dr door. The question is the next one: Do i need a swaybar to be able to install it??

Im planning to buy all my suspension upgrade by this month and the next one. Right now im riding stock.

I probably would be buying the Function & Form Type 1 Coilover
or Blox street Series sport shocks with skunk2 lowering springs.

With that the blox control arms and breaks rear lower arm bar.

- Thu Oct 11, 2012 2:11 am #317697 For the sake of the argument it goes like this:


Your top dollar products, obviously the best.
Your mid-range, daily driving good, race bad.
Low end, BAD.

ANYYYTHING to do with suspension, motor, steering, etc. buy at least mid range. They may fail, but not nearly as fast as the eBay brands.

IMO, BWR and f&f are one in the same. Mid range daily driver products. Blox is stupid cheap, and stupid poor quality. And NEVER set a budget, building cars is NOT a race. I won't care if it takes you 5 years to build your car how you want.. And neither will the next guy. I've been "building" my hatch for over a year and all I have is a jdm sohc swap and some coilovers. Is it the best car on the road? No. But am I happy knowing I'm not building an eBay certified junk machine, yes.

Hope that helps you steer yourself in the right direction! And if you have any questions, let us know!!!!

So for your opinion (and anyone can feel free to share too), would you recommend BWR & F&F?

And i know that for a fact. Im not in a race to "build" my car. I want to do this right, im kind of in a budget but i do not wanna go cheap, many stuff i would upgrade them later on once i finish school. I already went cheap on my last two cars and i dont want to do it on this one. Sorry im asking so much about this, but here i dont know anybody were I can actually talk about this or take advice since nobody would take me seriously.

Thank you BTW :thumb:

I currently have an ASR subframe new- but all other components are used.
front LCAs - gsr
front sway - type r
rear lcs - gsr
rear sway - gsr
rear trailing arms & brakes - gsr
coilovers are mid range skunk 2 - pro s ii
