Default subframe reinforcement

I'm looking to upgrade to an itr rear sway bar...however, i am aware of the subframe problems...my question is how many of you have LEGITMATELY have seen tear-outs because of the Beaks kit..

are there any other kits with the same qualitites as the asr but not as expensive

i'd like an asr setup..but im not just gonna dump an extra $120 on reinforcement for no reason...

i havent seen any pics of the beaks kit tearing out. i dont think it would rip out and i think its just peoples estimates on if it would rip out because of it being so small.

there have been reports on the beaks ripping out on 96-00 civics, but the chance is less on EG/DC2 because they are thicker than the 96-00. Still it can though.

not exactly sure what car you have, but i ran 3" lowered with 24mm front lower sway bar, and 23mm rear itr sway with a bsq kit on my 92 hatch, went testing in the malibu mountain 6 times a month for about 4 months till i found my suspention setting i like on my tein flex. but if you have an ek get the asr or comptech and do not use the beaks...

daily driver during the week, never had a problem after 1 year, then went bigger to front and rear mugen 26mm sways.>> but now i use an asr brace just in case.
