i been thinkin bout getting one since i been reading all these horror stories
im running 550lb springs in the rear and i believe the St is 19mm bar...

Yes. While 550lb springs are going to severly limit the suspension travel, thus placing less load on the rear sway bar, how can you go wrong with a $50-$60 insurance policy in the Beaks kit.
I'm going to have 450lb rear springs with my BC Racing-Spec coilovers and i'm ordering an ASR brace in the next 2 weeks. Why, at $180 its still cheap insurance and also peace of mind. Peace of mind knowing no matter what i do, the subframe should never tear out...ever.
I'd still get the Beaks kit, while personally i'd get the ASR but as my name states...i always go overboard
