From: So Cal....yes, i know, ca, USA
Ive had it!!!!!!!! im getting f*ckin sick and tired
i did everything i read on the instructions on the web but this damn thing wont go in at all!!!
ok here is the hang=up i drilled the 2 holes bigger. the welded nuts are tooo hard to come off so they are still there, ok fine i even traded the megan control arms i had (megan) to stock so that the endlink will fit perfect ok everything was ready, but then when i was reaching to put the LCA back to the subframe the lca was hitting the beaks plate inside the subframe, there was no room for the LCA to go in.
what do i do!!!!!!!
i enlarged the holes so i can't put the stock swaybar back on so now im screwed...can anyone help me?

i had trouble too..
I partially screwed a bolt into it, and hammered it, just be careful not to dent your subframe.
On one of them, I drilled it out, and then stuck a thick screwdriver through the hole, and moved it in all directions to get the tack weld separated.
you definitely need to get the tack welds out, or its not gonna fit together right.
It just takes patience. Once you get them out, its smooth sailing.

I don't know how the Beaks kit mounts, but with the BSQ kit all you do is remove the ABS line nut and enlarge the hole. You should still have the stock swaybar holes in case you want to put the stock one back on. You just won't have two bolts for the ABS line.

Install instructions for his kit are here: http://geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html
I could be wrong though since I don't know whether or not the Beaks kit uses the same mounting points.

I dented my subframe putting thi kit on
to get the nuts off I had to use an air hammer and a chisel head to get them off, and once you attach the top bolt of the plate you have to let it dangle, level it and drill a new hold for the bottom
if you are doing all the work yourself it is a real pain in the *** especially when you go to put the swaybar back on

Hmm I dunno, I don't have any problems with my Beaks mounting plates interfering with the LCA's.
But then again I also had a BSQ kit prior to the beaks, and the Beaks kit was installed with the car up on a lift (1000000x easier). I also installed Energy Suspension sway bar bushings with Zerk grease fittings at the same time, so I don't know if that made any difference.
