but the second hand whiteline bar i got just mounting to stock brucket+no reinforce kit included.....also, i m running stock itr suspension at the momnet....seems i m in the rise list...
Thats the thing, the stock postion is quite strong,

vs just bolting a 22mm ITR bar straight to the thin sheet steel on the subframe. Thats why it rips out, unless you give it more thickness of steel to spread the load over, aka ASR brace or other means

Check out where the whiteline bar mounts of the subframe compared to an ITR bar. Totally different Bar design where they mount on the subframe.

ITR bar has different D bracket positions and the subframe isn't double skinned if you put a DC2R bar on a non R subframe.
Therefore subframe tearout especially with soft springs and ITR rear bar with no reinforcement.

Now the whiteline 19mm one mounts in the stock EG6/DC2 location and has the reinforcement brackets there as factory. Not as tough as aftermarket reinforcement however its not going to rip out, (unless maybe you run stock height and spring rates and load the car up with heaps of weight and go offroading?)

Hope that clears something up.
Makes sense, thanks for clearing that up :-)
