Im looking into a subframe brace/sway combo, and was leaning twords the beaks kit. But I have someone telling me beaks will still let the subframe tear out. Is this true?

 

Beaks on DC/EG subframes - no problems at all. I've had mine for 3-4 years now. Even with softer stock ITR rear springs, I have no issues whatsoever.

I have heard that the 96-00 6th gen Civic subframes were thinner and weaker, and could tear out w/ a 22mm rear bar even with the Beaks kit. Supposedly the Beaks kit has been redesigned for 6th gen Civics, but again, that's just what I heard.

For 6th gen, ASR is really your best choice. For EG/DC's, ASR would be good, too, but not totally necessary. I know that with the Beaks kit and OEM ITR bar on a EG or DC, you can use OEM end links (if you have stock LCA's). Not sure if you can use OEM end links with the ASR brace or not.

 

Cool thanks for your time. Looks like i will order the asr combo with adjustable end links, i cant use factory due to f7 lcas. Thanks

 

I would go for a brace such as the ASR or Comptech. If you are looking for a whole sway bar, brace combo i have my Comptech i might be putting up for sale. Its discontinued from Comptech. PM me if you are interested.

What? I thought F7's had the sway bar end link holes in the factory location.

 

They do have them in factory location, they are just thicker for the ek, and stock endlinks studs arent long enough
