Stress. It exerts a greater force, pushing and pulling harder on the attachment points than the
OEM setup. That added "stress", also makes the car more responsive, and fun to drive. As long as you used the supplied bracing, don't worry about it.

that is why i am worried
H&R kit does not come with any mounting hardware other then their teflon urethane bushing
and the H-sports come with these i believe - and i do not see how these upgraded brackets would prevent the sub-frame from cacking<ul><li><a href="http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/swaybbct.html">http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/swaybbct.html</a</li></ul>

It connects the lower part of subframe (where bar bolts to car) to the frame above. This picture is
a pretty good shot of where it (on each side) goes. Makes more sense installed. Neuspeed also has reinforcement brackets, but they are solid bars, not billet alum parts that screw together like H-sport pictured.

Could call neuspeed too. Their bar originally didn't have reinforcement brackets. Could say have old
bar of theirs and want to add the brackets because subframe splitting. They may be willing to sell just the brackets in case like that..

they RAPE you on those, $150!
FWIW, my Black A4 has the neuspeed F&R sways on tem with no reinforcements on the rear, stiff setting..never cracked. It's been on there since like 2000 or 2001 and was heavily autocrossed by the P/O.
