Default Beaks Kit on EK - Installed Photos

Finally got around to taking pictures of the beaks kits installed. Photos from a few different angles so you can get the full affect.

You will notice the thickness of the beaks plate. This draws the ITR sway bar away from the subframe so that the endlinks are A LOT closer to verticle then if you didn't have them(ie honda-hybrid how-to). This makes the sway work better.

Wil at Beaks Products sent me the beaks kit, the ITR sway bar, prothane bushings/brackets and SI endlinks, ALL BRAND NEW for $250 to my door. This was before he officially offered it as a full kit, so I his official pricing may be more or less then what I payed.

The LCA is a TDM (Tawainese Domestic Market) piece. They are made by SRR. Aluminum. Not any lighter then stock, but much nicer and stiffer.

I got the LCA's from "vancolee" sp? here on honda-tech. $195 to my door in a few days!

Yeah, i got discs in the back. I was lucky in that the calipers were clean when i got them, but brake cleaner and wire brush got into all the nooks and krannies.

Here is a tip.
Use a stiff wire brush when the calipers are dry at first. Scrub to break up all the built on crud and get as much of it off as you can. Then spray with brake cleaner. Then repeat the process until you get it as clean as you can.

Glad to see the beaks kit at work. Purchased a sway bar for my "EG" my freakin subframe is bent and the length is somehow messed up just enough to make the measurements across the vehicle all worng back there Time to sell this civic, can't believe I was got by the previous owner, had a clean title history to, freakin front strong bar was bent to hell, rad. support just ever so slightly misalighned and now this... Oh well live and learn.

Is that teflon tape you have between the swaybar and bushings? Does it stay there, and is it quiet?

"I got the full suspension techniques front and rear tuned kit for $224 shipped to my door from Summit Racing"

If I wanted to tear my subframe, I would have got that too. And I have a CTR/SI front swaybar setup. Far superior to the ST setup.

Yes that is teflon tape. Two wraps around the bar, absolutely no grease, not a sqeek from the bar yet. And it stays.
