SRR sway/tie bar kit VS. Beaks
I want to get a rear sway bar and tie bar for my EK, the Beaks kit comes with a 21 mm sway bar and the SRR only uses a 19 mm. I'm not too familiar with the sizes of sway bars. Will this be a huge diffrence in performance or is not that big of a deal ? The SRR kit comes complete with all the hardware and it comes with the lower tie bar.

I just posted a big write up on my ITR bar. Beaks will give you an 22mm ITR bar

Yeah, I think the 22mm can make a difference, not huge, but yea. I think the price for the beaks will run you around 200-250 depending on if you buy it as a whole or pieces. I think the Beaks is the better what to go. Unless your getting the Comptech, which is good, but I heard small complaints about there endlinks and sqweaking

Beaks kit comes with a 22mm bar.
It will depending on the size of your front bar. If you have an Si or a 26mm front bar, you're going to experience some understeer with the SRR kit. With the beaks/ITR rear bar, your car should be a little bit more neutral.
I'd stick with the ITR bar if I were you.

i know for sure because i've had both, that the DC and Benen lower tie bar will work with the Beaks kit on an EK.
Beaks kit is the shizzle

personally, I would pass on the SRR rear swaybar kit. construction is a little funky IMO.

Re: (tonyXcom)
i love my set up, ive never had anything else though so i can't compare to other things. but the whole kit is very very strong there is no real weak point that i have ever notived, my hatch never has or had a front setup so that will hopefully be added when i put a new motor in, and tonyXcom im not really sure what funky construction you are talking about i thought it was very very good

I particularly dont like the stampted steel brackets that bolts to the sub frame. and the heavy tie bar between. It may not be that big of a deal on en EG, but on an EK, it doesn't offer much tear out protection.
My vote is for the Beaks/ITR setup or the Comptech.

my vote too. definately can't go wrong with those two...although the comptech's price is little steep.
