Just an FYI to anyone, especially in SoCal, The Underground Society, , sells counterfeit braces at his shop among other things as "real" name brand parts. I'm now out $400 and don't want that to happen to anyone else.. ASR has confirmed it's a counterfeit brace, and his installation also caused a stripped sub frame on my car, which is EXTREMELY hard, and expensive to fix. Headed to the dealership now to get a quote, since my car is now unsafe to drive. Now for the pictures..
As your can see upon jacking up the car, the bolts aren't even tight.. Subframe was so stripped the bolts were just pushed in and didn't require tools to remove..
Bushings on the REAL ASR sway is deteriorating
As you can see all the threads have been pulled out of the subframe.
Stripped grade 8 bolt.
The owner said he'd refund me on the brace and ASR said they'd refund me on the Sway. Which they already did, As I asked him about my endlinks i bought 2 MONTHS AGO he informed me "they'll be here when they be here." He also stated he would not be refunding me for the fake brace and it was my problem, along with not refunding me for the shotty install..
