Perrin rear sway bar bracket reinforcements

Hey all,

 

Question for those of you that have been in the Legacies longer than me. Recently tracked down and bought a discontinued 22mm Hotchkis rear sway bar. I asked offhand if the seller (SubieRecycler.com, awesome place) happened to have an AVO reinforcement bracket set as well. Turned out that they had a pair of Perrin brackets and wanted peanuts for them, so I picked those up as well.

 

Question is, can anyone who remembers these speak to whether they're sufficient, or recall anyone having problems with them? They're a bit thinner than the AVO brackets I had on my old wagon. I've found some discussions of people doubling up both AVO and Perrins, and quite a few for sale threads, but no comprehensive reviews or reports of issues.

 

Any input would be appreciated!

Anyone?

I have been making rear brackets for years. I had the AVO and don't like them for several reasons. CKE SSP brackets are similar to the CUSCO that are no longer produced and I would argue the design I use is both superior and lighter.

 

But I am biased toward the stuff I fabricate.

Running the Perrin rear sway brackets on my track car they’ve been on since install in 2007 and obviously have been pushed hard in the last 12 years they sure don’t look pretty now but they are holding up fine

Thanks both, that's good enough for me. Traildog, yours were my choice until I got these Perrins for $20, probably wouldn't hurt to double up down the road either way.
