Default Beaks Subframe Bar...

I was wondering if it will fit on the Type R? And I know everyone will say "buy ASR!", but I am just asking. Also, I have searched it to no results, so any help is appreciated!

i thought these subframes were used on non-itrs so they can run an itr rear swaybar?

I assume you are talking about the Beaks lower tie bar? If so, they make one for the ITR, but there is no performance gain over stock...

EEENNNTTT, wrong, you can use the Beaks tie bar in conjunction with the factory tie bar.

The ASR is the one that won't fit on an ITR subframe.

Nope, the ITR subframe is strong enough for those. A stiffer spring rate will also help as well

how is that wrong? He was talking about the Beaks tie-bar, not the rear sway bar.

The Beaks tie bar can be used in conjunction with ANY rear sway bar. The ASR subframe support cannot be used on a ITR, and there is no need as the ITR was reinforced from the factory. Even as big as the ASR 32mm sway you are fine.

The subframe support can be modified to fit on the ITR if you are looking for *bling*, but is a complete waste of money.

I know what he was talking about, and I wasn't talking about sway bars.

Did you see me say anything about a sway bar? Or are you seeing things?

Your reply was to my comment and you said it was wrong? Hence why I was wondering what you were talking about because what I said was correct that Beaks makes one for our car but offers no improvement over stock?
