opinions on itr bar and beaks kit
i know that just about everyone will recommend the ASR or comptech reinforcement bar, but i want to know if anyone is running a larger sized sway bar (~22mm) with a beaks kit on the EK subframe ? has anyone run into or heard about tearing problems WITH the beaks kit installed ??

I ran a beaks kit with a blox 21mm bar, with no problems. Ths was on an EG though, if I were you with an EK I wouldn't bother with a beaks kit, just go ASR. as a derneral rule of thinb for rear swaybar:
For EGs:
19-21mm->Beaks
21+mm->ASR
For EKs:
19mm(or smaller)->Beaks
19+mm->ASR
Just trust me, I've seen tearouts with a beaks kit(using that 22mm bar on an EG coupe)...it wasn't a pretty site, on an EK it'd be even worse ecause the subframe is even thinner.

I'm using a 23mm ITR bar and a beaks kit... if you have high spring rates, you are less likely to have tearout, as the bar is doing less work.
