I saw the light and got in on a group buy for the ATI sub frame back in Feb (I still havent recieved my sub-frame yet!!!!) Has anyone else experienced this AND bent their BAT bar in the process? I havent yet removed it from the car, but dis-connected the end links, but it looks kinda bent 1996 Mondeo 24v 4-door twin janspeed stainless pipe cat by-pass Phase 2 RS bodykit 16" cosworth alloys K&N RU3530 SVT TB/UIM/LIM poly bushings konis/bat springs/bar Pioneer MSDS Indiglos P&P heads 2005 Mondeo Zetec Tdci

It's fine, I'm sure. If it is bent right now, be careful, because it'll spring back when you take it off. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results

But other than that I'm sure you would destroy the sub frame before anything ever happen to the BAT bar.
