Hi all.

I have a beaks rear ARB kit for my del sol, but I bought it used and have no idea how it fits. The parts I have are pictured below.






I've been told I don't need a reinforcement bar, but I can't physically see how this bar fits on??

All help for a HT noob is appreciated.

 

I'm pretty sure that the bracket with some of the circle missing goes inside the subframe and the other goes on the outside and you bolt it all together with the sway bar bracket on the very outside.

 

The parts that 2 peice that are half circles go inside the subframe. The others go on the outside with the D bracekt.

What size sway bar is that?

The EG which is pretty similar to the del sol doesn't need anything to run a 22mm bar. But the beaks kit, isn't a bad idea.

 

Yes, you still need reinforcement like the Beaks kit shown above. You just don't absolutely need a huge reinforcement bar like ASR.

If you try to bolt up a 22mm bar to a 92-95 Civic or del Slow, or Integra, without any kind of reinforcement, the subframe WILL tear out.

See this link for pics of how it goes together: http://www.beaksproducts.com/SRK_EG_...forcement.htm# Unfortunately the installation instructions are not available on the Beaks website.

OP looks like you're missing the hardware that comes with the Beaks kit.

 

Your correct, so I wont argue with you. But my friend has a ITR rear sway bar on his 95 hatch with no issues.


Don't you have the beaks kit with a ITR bar?

 

Yes I have a Beaks kit. Never had any issues.

The real issue with putting an ITR bar on a EG or DC is getting a flat mounting surface on the subframe for the D-bushing brackets. That's what the Beaks kit and the ye olde BSQ kit (which I had before) does. Never had a problem with either. You can't really put an ITR bar directly on the subframe because the bushing brackets won't sit or bolt up correctly. And if you use an ITR bar with the GS-R's OEM sway bar brackets that push the bar way out away from the subframe, the bar causes those brackets to put a high amount of torque loading on the subframe and tears out.

 

Hmm. That's good to know.

Now I wondering how my friend has his bar on.

 

Thanks for your post and the link, can't see what I am missing though??

 

The hardware that comes with the Beaks kit.

 

Can you be more specific? Sorry if I'm not making sense, but I have the arb, the brackets and the gold reinforcing parts, all I need is bolts and it will be exactly the same as in the link you posted?

What hardware are you referring to?

Thanks again..

hardware = bolts and washers in this pic, i.e. everything shown that you don't already have

 

Cheers. Bolts and washers aren't a problem..

I just got given these pics of the car the setup is off, showing I need to drill holes...

 

Yep, looks like there might be too many holes drilled in that one, though.

From what I can recall (it's been like 7 years since I installed my Beaks setup) you have to knock out some welded nuts and maybe enlarge some other holes a bit. Just stick the pieces up to the subframe and you should be able to figure it out.

 

Patrick is correct. The pieces with the half circle go on the inside of the subframe. Before you can put those on, you need to remove the 2(4 total) tack welded nuts off of the subframe. Those nuts are there for use of an OE smaller size sway bar. You need to enlarge the top factor hole with a drill and drill a new hole for the bottom. Take measurements and mark it off with the braces on to ensure you drill the hole in the right place. Once you have the nuts on the subframe broken off and the holes drilled, you can install the braces and swaybar.

You will need the hardward shown in the picture. You can buy the hardware at a store, just make sure it's grade 8 or higher.
