When to upgrade RSB mounts?

[stm25rs]

I picked up a used whiteline 20mm adjustable RSB today, and am planning on going with the Moog endlinks, unless I happen to see a good deal on something like used Kartboys. Car is on stock suspension, stage 1 e-tune, and it's a DD that doesn't see track/auto-x, or even very aggressive street driving.

 

Only other mods planned are Stage 2, most likely a front sway bar, and possibly konis/epics - no super stiff coilovers, or large drop are in my future.

 

Should I be ok with the stock mounts?

I think you should get some reinforcement brackets if you upgrade your RSB. People have broken the stock mounting points. I have the Cobb one's, but I don't think those are made anymore....maybe whiteline has some?

I think the AVO RSB mounts are still a tough find, but a needed mod w/RSB, just get under there and check out the wimpy stock mounts. I used them on my DD with a Whiteline & Moog's, no issues!

Mine broke with the stock bar.

Thanks all. I just found this thread, don't know how I missed it before:

Looks like I need to find some AVO mounts.
