So you can or can't use a lower tie bar with the ASR and sway bar combo??

you could if you really wanted to but it would be really pointless since the subframe brace does the exact same thing.

so i just went over this again and im still a little fuzzy about the LCA's.

even if you are NOT replacing the LCA's, you MUST remove the bolt holding the LCA to the subframe? correct?

anyone have this combo with the RSR Exmag? I am installing mine and the sway bar bushings are hitting the back of my exhaust.

I'm having a problem with my D brackets. They arent slotted (or "universal") and the bolt holes are not even close to lining up with the bolt holes on the asr brace. The bottom hole on the D bracket is about 1/2 to 3/4" short when it is bolted to the top hole. Where can I get a new bracket that I can use? Any advice is appreciated.

I got the D brackets that come with the 22mm Blox rear sway. The endlinks look fine and everything and they came from blox as well. I was pretty pissed though, to find out after my whole sheared lca bolt fiasco last weekend that the freakin bracket isnt the right one. Unfortunately, I assumed that the blox bracket would be similar and/or almost exactly the same as other ones that come with say the ctr or itr sway. Any place you guys know of that I could be em from online for a decent price? I really would prefer to only buy the D brackets cuz the bushings are fine and everything.

I'm guessing that these are universal since I would be using them on the rear and not the front. If you have any pics or anything that would be helpful, although if there just the ones in your sig then I'll take your word for it.
Yep, the ones in my sig. I can almost guarantee they come with the bushings from summit, its just been so long since I ordered them.
