whos is runing this setup. i plan to do it but some people have said that the beaks kit will not help to protect the subframe and it will tear it even with it on the itr swaybar. so please help me out

 

Beaks kit will be fine. If you want to save some money get the BSQ kit. I've run the ITR sway with BSQ kit for almost 2 years without any problems.

Get the BSQ kit at: http://www.geocities.com/bretq

 

The only reason i know have a ITR and BSQ kit on my car is because of all the people here on HT that have it on there car, and have said it worked without any problem. Then only sub frame damage i have seen is from people that did not use any mounting kit.

 

i hear you can't use the BSQ kit if your car is lowered more than 2 inches, because u'll be damaging your abs lines

No i'm running the beaks kit and it works fine. Very strong pieces.. i think your mistaking people who just run it on their subframe with no mounting kit.

 

If you want to protect the subframe damage then get this: http://a-spec-racing.com/products.php

I don't trust the beaks kit after one of two people on this site showed a beaks kit w/ ITR sway bar with a torn subframe.

 

those are all for civics

integra and civics have the same chassis.

meaning EVERYTHING are interchangeable except the some parts of the ITR

 

i know that civic and integra share a lot of things...I was wondering why the site didn't designate that

 

i dont know if the abs lines would clear that kit

ohh yeah
the prson i bought my car from(original owner) was an acura mechanic that replace the stock gsr rear sway with a '97 type r.. i do heavy cornering and my car is prety low( tanabe sustec pros 2/3 the way down).. after over 1 and a half of heavy sport driving on rough roads havent had a problem yet.. all my friends say im lucky... i think im just gonna save up for the comptech combo

For the $180 that the A-Spec deal costs plus an ITR rear sway bar you could go ahead and get the Comptech kit though.

 

so if i run the beaks with mountig hardware i would be fine running the itr sway and about abs im lacking it so ill be good

 

There are numerous of people running the beaks kit, I would say the reason any problems with the kit would be caused by bad install.

 

The spot welded nuts are a bit of a pain in the *** to get out, but I found that the set up really stiffened up the rear of my car

 

I've got the beaks kit with the itr sway bar for about 4 years. Been auto x'ing with em and riding em with twisties. no problems at all

 

etv24, how low is your GSR? This is the only other mod I haven't gotten around to buying for my 00.

I did run the BSQ kit for about 1.5 years with a ~3" drop, and it did rub the ABS wire protectors (made little flat spots on them) but did not damage the actual wires.

Several months ago I switched to the Beaks kit, no real reason other than I just happened to have the money sitting in my PayPal account already, and no problems with that, either.

I think that EG kit just came out recently on the A-spec Racing website. They didn't have it when I looked at that site a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the EK stuff will NOT work with a DC chassis (I know the EK Beaks kit is quite a bit different from the EG/DC kit). Actually they don't even have the page working yet for the EG kit, so they might not even have it ready to sell yet.

Nice, I'm running the same suspension! How do you like it, with the ITR bar and all?

Yeah but it can be fairly difficult trying to get all the parts assembled together with just 2 hands. When I first put on my Beaks kit, my car was on a lift and my friend held up the swaybar while I threaded the bolts and parts together.

Later when I changed out my bushings from stock ITR to ES, I was at home with just jackstands, and I had to use my other 2 jackstands to hold the bar up to the subframe while I threaded the parts back together.

 

wheres the cheapes price that i can find the beaks kit for

 

it goes for around $65 I think.
