Beaks or ASR?
I just got a itr rear sway bar, i would like to put this on a 2000 civic dx. My question is has anyone used this with the beaks kit? http://www.beaksproducts.com/S...t.htm
Is it worth it? Does it really hold up or should i just save for a ASR subframe?
I know the ASR is probably the safe way to go, but damn they are expensive!!
Any input from people with experience would be great, Thanks in advance.

Thats what i was afraid of hearing. The Beaks kit looks like it doesnt really cover enough area to prevent a sub frame tear out. i guess i need to save for the ASR.
Does anyone know of another manufacture of a subframe brace like this but not as expensive? It seems odd that ASR is the only one that make one. Sounds like monopoly to me. Thanks Benny

Re: (Del Sex)
the ASR covers alot more area and bolts through in more places. It made a huge diffence in my car without the sway bars on. I never tried any other ones but ASR seems top notch

Don't both of the kits have subframe reinforcement tabs? They are basically just a slab of metal, both should work if you use them with the reinforcement.

Re: Beaks or ASR? (kleeeee)
my brother is using the beaks on his DB with an itr sway. its been years and it still works great. im using an asr subframe with itr sway on my hatch and love it plus it looks good. i think the comtech subframe is badass too but for the price i think asr is best out of the three.

ASR.. I just put mine on, and i love it. I say, if youre going to this upgrade, do it right the first time. Even though its a little expensive, save up a couple more shiny nickels and you should be set.

r-crew's brace looks pretty legit, i wouldn't mind picking one up.
