By saying "Chassis reinforcement kit" I believe they mean "mounting kit". (but don't quote me.....Lloyd!) Most people don't like sleeve kits. Either regular springs or full-coilovers.

"get full-coilovers like the other guy said....."

After seeing this stated over and over again I have yet to see anyone state 'WHY' and give something other than a philosophical reason.

Why are 'true' coilovers better than a sleeve kit with adjustable Koni's?

It seems like the true coilovers just make it difficult to get the spring rates you want for your application.

Be careful with the Mugen bar. I have a friend who got the Mugen bar for his '00 Civic Si and even with the Mugen mounting kit it tore the sub-frame.

We just put the Mugen sway on an R last week from King. It didn't come with any "reinforcement kit" for the 24mm bar.

The reinforcement kit is a plate that goes between the frame and the 2-bolt connection points. Hope that helps.

That's a possibility with all of the coilovers with steel shock bodies.

I spoke directly with King about the reinforcement kit. They Type R does not need any reinforcement kit. I ran one on my 98 R for quite a while with no problems (26mm). Civics, etc. need the reinforcement kit.
