Default Eibach sways require Brace on EG???

Hello all,

I just put my suspension together on my 93 hatch and I am waiting for my Eibach sways. They are on back-order. After reading around, I noticed that a lot of people recommend a sub-frame brace when upgrading, due to tear.

My question is, Would the Eibach sways need reinforcement? The bars are 26mm front and 17mm rear.

I was considering getting the Beaks kit as assurance, but I wasn't sure if it is necessary.

Thanks all,
-XLR8

I would, just to be safe, even though it's only 3mm larger than a stock GS-R rear bar. If you don't use something like Beaks, then your only mounting option would be the GS-R's OEM sway bar bracket mounts, which could cause problems. The Beaks kit gives you a flat surface on the subframe to which you can attach the sway bar's D-brackets.

Thanks.

After looking at the kit, I noticed it has a mount included. Would the Beaks kit work with this? Would it still be necessary?

Thanks.
