No, you can bolt a 14mm sway bar on with out any massive risk of tearout.

but its added insurance for anything that might happen.

I would get an ASR brace.

but should i be ok for awhile just rocking the swap bar by itself

the beaks kit is for a type r sway bar. since the type r sway bar has a thicker diameter, it has been known to damage non-type r sub frames.

yep...plus it adds a little flash to your rear end...though you can't be the asr application...

i have a gsr rear sway bar on my car, didn't need any reinforcement. I race it at the track to and so far so good.

For the stock GSR rear you don't need ASR or beaks kit. The bar is only 14mm.

Only 99 civic si and integra/civic type-r's sway bar need brace

99 si sway bar is a dinky 13mm, as stated a couple times above

you only need (well, you dont NEED it, but its reccomended) a reinforcement kit with a bigger bar like an itr

bumpbump pics and more info

ps are you guys using bolts and nuts from the hardware store to mount them it to the subframe

If you need pics then go to ASRs website or do a search for subframe tearout. Unless you need a pic of a rear swaybar, which I can't think of any reason why. You can just peak under an Integra or certain models of Civics. It's nothing special.

You don't need reinforcement for any bar under 18mm. And if you get a well designed bar (Progress), then you can run an adjustable 24mm without the expense and weight of subframe reinforcement. I've been running that bar on the street for 3 years. I take it off occassionally to re-lube the bushings, and there is no sign of stress or tearing.

The only respectable subframe reinforcement IMO is to reinforce-weld the subframe, mimicking the ITR. Everything else is just for show. The ASR especially. It's just a big plate made of expensive metal with expensive cutting and etching.

Usually, most people do. No point in paying $2-6 per bolt at Honda. Make sure you get SAE Grade 8 or Metric Grade 10 bolts. Strength

'92-95 Civics do not need any additional reinforcement to run a stock Integra bar.
