badfish11 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm thinking about getting perrin 25mm front and rear bars. I have seen pics of the AVO reinforcement brackets installed and they look pretty solid. Does anyone have a pic of the perring rsb installed with the perrin stout mounts? I'm wondering if they look as secure as AVOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfish11 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 ^^ Nice thanks. Did you do enlinks too or did you stick w/stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLegGT67 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've thinking about purchasing these as well. Did you see this post? Perrin f/r sways for sale. I believe these are the 25 mm. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65904&highlight=curb&page=1 I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.

ERLoft Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I thought I had a hosted pix but apparently not. I've got the Harman Motive Tail Out kit, which has both F&R Perrin sways, stout mounts and F&R Kartboy endlinks.

LibertyGT Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I organised a group buy of AVO reinforcement brackets a few months ago for some locals here (Sydney Australia), after snapping my OEM bracket. Seven cars were fiited at my house with the AVOs which went on with no dramas at all. The higher milage cars had lots of flex in the OEM brackets before fitting whereas the lower milage cars, not so bad. I can't see how the Perrins could match the strength of the AVOs purely because of the AVOs design, but I do think the Perrins look prettier. The rear mufflers completely hide the brackets anyway, so it's only you and your mechanic that will see them. I would go the AVO if you want strength.

azca Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I have Perrin reinforcement brackets and they are very strong - whatever metal they are made from is super hard to bend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azca Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Stout Mounts Every rear Legacy Swaybar comes with the added benefits of our Stout-Mount™ system. This is another factory flaw. The factory sway bar mount is a thin steel bracket protruding from the chassis. With upgraded swaybars, the bracket can fatigue and fail over time. The Stout Mounts make a solid connection between the chassis the lower swaybar mount. This prevents any flexing or fatiguing of the bracket with upgraded swaybars. A two stage silver powder coat is applied for years of beauty and performance. These mounts are overbuilt to handle the added stiffness of upgraded swaybars.

LibertyGT Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Azca, How long have you had the Perrin end links?, How many miles have you done on them since install? I have the Whitelines on my car and so far had them replaced (at about 5,000 miles) due to the rattle as they wear. The new set are now rattling and I am about to go back to the OEM links. I have looked at the Perrins, but I wanted to find out what they are like to live with. Thanks Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azca Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I have had full perrin setup for 30k, 1.5 years - everything is like new including endlinks, brackets etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyGT Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thanks for the info on that, now have to find a local reseller here in Oz. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen pics of the AVO reinforcement brackets installed and they look pretty solid. Does anyone have a pic of the perring rsb installed with the perrin stout mounts? I'm wondering if they look as secure as AVOs. Any reason for the 25mm over the 22mm's? I've got the 22's, and for a daily driver, they are nice. Much reduced body roll, without much NVH. If your heavy into autocross, the 25mm would be a better choice. The Perrin mount essentially triangulates the rear mount making it stiffer. I have not had mine on for long, but have had no problems. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish11 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I went with cusco front and rear bars with avo brackets in the rear; I'm keeping stock endlinks until im forced to replace a broken one. This seems to be the most trouble free path I've researched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdt Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've had these Stout Mounts laying around for a while and I'm finally getting around to installing them. I don't have any instructions. I'm just wondering if there is anything odd about putting these on or is it as straight forward as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
