There is no need to worry about tearing an ITR rear subframe.

If you do not have an ITR rear subframe, you are asking your question in the wrong forum.</TD></TR></TABLE>
there was a guy on here that had the beeks kit and still ripped out the subframe... and I know a guy that had the 19mm skunk2 sway bar with stock type d brackets and that ripped out the subframe too.. any suguestions on mounting and ride height?

i don;t understand how all these people are ripping out the subframes. i installed a 26mm mugen bar (for the itr) in the back of my civic 5 years ago. i cut some steel plate, drilled a few holes... and i have had no problems at all. it has to be the way they are mounting them.

edit: i found a pic from a while ago, probably 2000, as my calipers still look good

How thick of steel did you use? Only one plate per side?
It is essentially the same effectiveness as Beaks, takes stress away from 2 points and spreads it.
Shouldn't having high rear springs rates help as well with keeping it from tearing?

If you use 600lb rear springs you wont have a problem with tearout.
You prolly wont even need a 26mm rear sway either.

question, which is slightly but not really OT

if most parts from an ITR swap over to an EG, does the rear sub-frame work?

i think that would be a good upgrade for EG owners if you can put the ITR subframe there.

It's not a bolt on part. A Beaks kit or reinforcment kit is and is considerably cheaper.
