We talking about the sway bar? (21mm)
The little stock sway bar mount was boxed in. The part that extend away from the subframe was given extra strenth with a second plate.
The bushings bracket- I added some grease fitting to eliminate removing them each time.
Control arms are from Brad. (Highly recommend them)
The front control arms are stock and had them welded closed.

I may have worded this wrong. I was refering to the Front lower arm in the top picture.

So tell us about the improvements you feel after these modifications, if any. Inquiring minds want to know.

Freaking incredible how it handles now. Have to say Im impressed. Highly recommend Brad's (Red Coat Race Works) control arms. I cant say how it feels with just changing the control arms, because I did everything at once. But Im very happy with the outcome. Great service and a great quality product, but we already know that. With the changes I made, Im very pleased. Still waiting to get Brad's End links installed. Welding the front lower arm on the subframe is also recommended.

Why is that? Less distortion?
