aldo ixnay Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I am quite certain that it will come with upgraded mounts. Mark Hotchkis is anal about his products. That's why it takes longer to be released. It's done right the first time. Actually... I was one of the first to buy their WRX Sport Sway set and the replacement rear sway mounts wouldn't fit. The holes were drilled wrong. My friend and I had to dremel them. Hotchkiss admitted this and said they would replace them for free.... By the time I had received them I had actually forgot about them. It literally took months. I'm glad I was resourceful and didn't wait around for them. If I wasn't I would have been a pretty pissed off and unsatisfied customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I just fitted my Cuscos today, now you have me worried that the stock brackets aren't up to the additional stress ? How many occurrances of this failure have actually been recorded, the one in the pic looks like it's been chewed off, not just broken Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensonae Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 i bent one of my rear brackets and obliterated the swaybar mount-not sure how. the bracket easily bent back and i would buy a reinforcement bracket if there was one for safety's sake.

rjoeser Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Patagonian GT, I agree with the brackets for the perrin sway bar. Poorly designed, could not get them on with out major drilling. Likely weakening them so I did not put the brackets on. If you check out the PERRIN web site they finally took the picture of the 3 hole sway bar down and replaced it with the 2 hole. They also have pictures of solid mounts that appear to bolt UP to the sub frame with 2 bolts. I was under my car putting on my new BOSAL-SPT exhaust( Great sound, somewhat poor weld quality BTW-But..cheap for CBE) and was checking out the spot where they had this new mount installed, I saw only one factory hole, I think it must involve drilling the subframe. Does not sound very appealing. rjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 awhile ago perrins three hole went to two hole because people didn't realize that the third hole is for autox only. the bushing design changed and the metal spacer has been deleted because it rubbed against the bar. i'm just got around to contact them and they are sending me the revised bushings with grease free. i still like to be able to adjust my swaybars for a better balance.

The bar hit both rear control arms on anything but the one setting - so, the only way it was functional was to make it non-adjustable. It had nothing to do with people using it improperly - bad design is bad design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi all, I got an answer for all of you, and Cusco already designed the part, just ask Racecomp Engineering if you want a set of these: http://www.cusco.co.jp/05_ctg/5sbr_pdf/sbr_76.pdf Part numbers and all are there and are listed. You can use http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr to translate the info that you see there in the PDF (just use the normal copy-paste method to decode the pdf unless you have a better way to translate the page).

MDork Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 gruppe-s might be able to smuggle some in on their next shipment. if i read correctly (which may not be the case), the part itself is $50+tax after converting to dollars.

eVoMotion Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Anyone else able to translate this PDF? I keep getting error and no reads from Bablefish. Cut paste and open page with bable is not working for me. Looks like the part we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 ^ it works for me, you have to open the PDF first.. then use the "cursor" function and highlight the characters and copy them into the clipboard, then use the Babelfish translator to do the phrases at a time.. babelfish will not decode the PDF, you have to extract the characters out of the PDF bit by bit and put it into babelfish's 150 character-or-less translator to read it. It works for me just fine and I got all the info you need. Here are the part numbers (note- these parts will not work on the Outbacks) for BL/BP chassis: Cusco front endlinks: 667 318 A Cusco rear endlinks: 684 317 A Cusco rear endlink reinforcement bracket: 684 316 A Cusco rear sway bar reinforcement bracket: 684 316 B Cusco rear sway + endlink brackets: 684 316 S Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
