Hey, I have a DC2 and am gathering parts for my suspension and have run into a problem. I just got my F7 rear subframe brace and beaks kit in the mail today and was mocking them up together when I noticed that the bracket for the beaks kit that attaches through the lca/subframe bolt is too short and does not provide enough vertical clearance against the function 7 subframe brace. The hole for the LCA bolt in the beaks bracket is about 1/2" too low, due to the top of the beaks bracket hitting the bottom of the F7 brace. Has anybody successfully mounted these two things together? If so, how did you do it? I am worried about making some sort of extension to the bracket - one because it most likely wont be as strong as the brackets provided with the beaks kit (even though its more for looks haha), and two because the beaks kit hangs low enough already, and if I fabricate a bracket to make it clear the F7 brace it will only hang lower. So, if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them out there. Thanks!

 

Sell the Beaks bar.

 

Beaks is cheap, looks cool had one on my em2.
But when I got stuck at the airport and had to go over the speed trap
I bent the L brackets holding the beaks bar cause the car was to low.
I say you take it to a friends house a build a new L bracket and make it work.
Should look pretty good once finished.






here you can see it works just gotta play with the brackets.





Also dont mind that bolt it was used to show this does work haha

 

Thanks jason for letting me borrow your drill and making a mess. I spent some time under the car and I will be able to make it work by modifying the beaks kit brackets, mock up pics above. Hopefully I'll be able to post some finished pics by this weekend, just waiting on my lca to arrive.

 

Beaks bar = useless (when paired with subframe brace)

 

You B I T C H E D out on us *** wipe, after me and my dad fab up some **** to make this work and then me and you did some work to it and G taking us to the store and Ky;e watching and Joey driving down to my house you backed out what a hoe lol I wuv you tho hahahaha Ill help install everything thursday




And your point is? Nothing thanks....
Beaks= never usefull its for looks

 

horray for a ricer part. at least tell us you have a sway bar big enough to need all that bracing

 

wow now I remember why I never post on H-T. I'm not usually one to use the most overused word in the internet and call people "haters" but dam, thats the only input you guys could give to my thread? Thx for the help.
Yes I know, I purchased the beaks bar for looks. It is a piece of aluminum square tubing, probably cost $2 to make, especially with the brackets I had to make, it does absolutley nothing.

my suspension consist of

ksports coilovers
F7 lca
F7 subframe brace
beaks bar
jdm ITR 23mm rear swaybar with blox spherical endlinks

Since you already know this is Hater-tech, I just want to know why you have mostly comp worthy suspension if your building it for show?

 

dang that thing hangs low, but F-7 is where its at!

 

He bought the Beaks bar for looks, So why are you all over his nuts about his supension?
Stop acting like a D.I.C.K HEAD. Dont worry what he does with his money or car.
He should be hitting up a track soon enough once he feels comfortable with his car.

People like you is the reason the honda game sucks
Always gotta be a *** wipe to someone






Yeah it hang's low but all beaks bar's do that Ive bent one before on a em2 that was lowered
and my boy just bent his on his Si
so ehh not a big deal

 

I just asked a question, damn dude insert your tampon and stop crying.

 

You was being a smart *** that what you was doing.

So stop being a dumb *** who as nothing
good to say to the original posted question,
besides some smart *** remarks.
and Not post if you don't have a correct answer.

Okay Bye!

 

hahaha


from now on I'll stick to just stick to reading and not bother posting here on H-T

 

if this is hater-tech then u dont want to join b20vtec smh.... lol some of the most ignorant ppl u will ever converse with. but although the beaks bar is pointless i have one myself, and i think it makes ppl take notice of the smaller details of the car. i like it. btw ur teg looks great

 

beaks on a brace like that is pointless. the end. sorry.

 

Ye I don't see the point of fastening a brace on top of a brace. the f7 subframe brace is plenty enough and I think it looks pretty dumb.

 

I just don't see the point in having the damn thing snag on something and throwing away a $110 piece. fvck it, your money.

 

Yes the beaks is not for anything but looks but oh well
also is this any different then when people buy the asr brace and beaks? no it's not
asr/f7 the same with or with out beaks

game over lock thread?
