and the ASR brace is 10X better at protecting from subframe tear out than the beaks.... people have still ripped their subframes even with the beaks..... the asr is 10X better and its better than any strut bar you can get for that.....

if its the same price to you than get the ASR brace..... asr runs huge(32mm+) sway bars on their braces all day with no problems.... yet people have still torn their subframes with the beaks kit along with just a typer R bar......... its your subframe..... rip it if you want to...

I'm pretty sure that the people who tore subframes w/ Beaks kits were 96-00 Civics which are known to have weaker subframes than 92-95 Civics and 94-01 Integras.

I've had a 22mm ITR sway bar with a Beaks kit for probably 3 years without issues. Before that I had the simple $20 BSQ kit without issues.

Oh, and don't bother with those Comptech end links. Your stock GS-R end links will work just fine as they did on mine.

Here is what I ordered from Son's Acura (list courtesy of BSQ's page http://geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html ):

1.) 52300-ST7-Z01 rear swaybar ($68.94) Son's Acura price
2.) 52315-ST7-Z01 swaybar bushing ($4.08) (2 needed)
3.) 52308-SS0-000 bushing bracket ($5.66) (2 needed)
4.) 52316-ST7-Z00 sway bar end bushing ($1.60) (2 needed) Son's Acura price
5.) 52312-SE0-000 sway bar end bushing collar ($1.80) (2 needed) Son's Acura price – this part can be reused from the stock swaybar

But I substituted greasable Energy Suspension sway bar bushings in place of #2 and #3. These bushings have a grease fitting on the bracket so you can keep the grease fresh without unbolting the sway bar.

I think this along with the Beaks SRK-DC is the most cost-effective option. Then you can add the Beaks tie bar if you want to.

*edit* I edited the prices to reflect current Son's Acura prices. Get the sway bar from there as it's much cheaper than from Heel Toe.
