I got a 12 bar from powers. And it came wit 4 sandwich plates brackets to mount it. Can someone tell me if the plates really work, or should i drill through the sub frame!!!

 

I would use the plates over drilling.

 

you dont think it will move when i come back on it???

 

not if you put some elbow into it

you might want to wait for a second opinion though

 

they design it well enough to stay in place even you slam it

 

I would install it per instructions, drilling holes in your subframe will only weaken it, if you are concerned that it isnt mounted good enough, you can use a 2" exhaust clamp for a car to hold tighter to the subframe...

 

don't drill it...plus it's easier and cheaper to readjust the bar then replace the subframe .

 

Don't drill! I have never used the plates but exhaust clamps work real good!

 

Like everyone else said... Don't Drill. Sometimes those plates push on your tail section when you put it on, so i went to Home Depot and got 6, 1inch u-bolts and spaced them out equally on each side. Never had a problem, and I've slammed the thing numerous times. Regardless the plates work fine, you can do it either way, just don't drill.

Peace,

we have slammed my boy's f4 on the powers bar quite a bit and it hasn't budged at all. was a pain in the *** to get on though.
