Default not sure but I thought I heard about some people cracking the stock mounting points w/o
reinforcements. The reinforcement brackets that come w/ H-Sports are excellent.

Default 2nd. H-sport here. More substantial mounting. Having said that...
I ran a Neuspeed 22mm rear for 2 years on my previous sedan without any issues (other than squeaky links - which can be fixed with a little routine lube).

Default Without support brackets, it will crack your subframe. had this happen on my blue car
would creak over every bump. very annoying.

Skip if no brackets
