That's true. Especially since I'll probably put a whiteline bar in. Would the plates fit on the later models? I think I remember hearing that they won't but I'm not sure.

i think delta v make them to suit rev 1 and rev2+

Holy crap I also thought they were only needed for upgrading sways! I have stock suspension now but it might go BC Inverted coilovers maybe within the next year so might have to invest in one of these you reckon?

Don't delay getting reo plates.
It's a very common problem, even with stock ARB's.
I wonder how many people are driving around with a cracked chassis that don't know about it.
 
The pic shows cracking that has started under the ARB bracket that can really only be seen properly when the bracket is removed.
If not fixed in time, the bar may fall off completely, as has already been described.
 

 

If I'm going to the bother of fitting reo plates, I may as well get thicker sway bars as well...
You'd think the stock skinny links would bend first too 

The bigger front sway bar made a decent difference and its well recommended.
 
Thats a serious amount of damage, its always good to prevent something than finding a cure for it. Good job on the repairs though, good as new :)

The DeltaV reinforcement plates were very good quality and the instructions, bolts and washers were all included to do the job.
 

Just chucked some of these on my car the other day, I'd probs powdercoat/paint them black next time.  But a very quality product none the less.  Also very happy to say I had no cracks even though I run Whitelines... need to push it more in corners I think lol.

I actually managed to install a Whiteline Front Sway bar on backwards loool

Any noticeable increase in understeer with the whitelines up front? 

I fitted a 20 mm Whiteline front bar, and even on the softest setting it made the steering more positive with quicker turn in.  It also gave the car a slightly firmer ride with slight understeer but this was easy to live with.
 
But later on when the time came to fit new tyres, although I stuck with the stock 225/50R15 rear size I took the opportunity to fit wider 205/50R15’s on the front rather than the stock 195/55R15’s I had previously.
This, together with a bit more front castor made the car balance about nuetral with even better turn in.
 
I believe that the stiffer bar was well worth fitting on the front, but I kept the stock bar on the rear.
The general consensus seems to be that going stiffer on the rear will contribute to more oversteer, something you may not want with your MR2.
