Default subframe kit and reinforcement kit?

I had a real quick question that i cant seem to clarify myself. I looked and it seemed like usually when you have a sway bar you get a reinforcement kit, but with the ASR braces you dont have to, and i was wondering if this correct or am i misleading myself.


thanks in advance.

Just buy a CTR/ITR 22mm bar and the ASR brace. and get used to oversteer.

"get used to oversteer" LOL. Famous last words to someone who finds themselves fishtailing on the freeway.

You don't need subframe reinforcement if you get a swaybar that is attached properly and you have a matched front sway and some decent springs. The only one I know of is Progress. Ran that for 4-5 years on a Civic daily driver. Subframe reinforcement is a great for chassis bracing, and that's why the Type R has it built in. But they also seem welded the entire chassis so don't tell me they did that just for the swaybar. That ASR is overpriced blingy crap IMO. Serious overkill. For less than that price I would have it custom reinforcement welded.
