Default beaks subframe reinforcement kit install question.

hey guys I bought a Beaks subframe reinforcement kit form a guy this summer and he said it was for a EK but it is to big and the holes on the subframe don't match up with the holes on the beaks kit, can anyone help me identify what car this is for, or send me a write up or video of how to install it just so I can make sure I am doing it right (I almost positive I'm putting it on right but maybe I'm missing a part). thanks guys here are the pics of the part.







The holes on the hit are 2.5 inches apart as you can see and the total length is just under 4 inches. any help is appreciated.

What side are you trying to slip into the subframe?

Here's an thought. Why not find a pic of a real kit for an EK and see if they're the same?

the smaller piece with the angled edges. it isn't fitting the pieced around the subframe but the holes that you bolt it into, the holes on the beaks kit dont line up with the holes on the subframe the beaks kit has a larger gap in between the screw holes then the subframe.

Here's another. Try contacting Beaks?

Or better yet go the website and click on "instructions".

I appreciate it but the links are for a tie bar not what I have and the links dont work, and I know the one I have looks the same and it is not a eg or dc part I am asking if it could possible be for a s2k or prelude, or something else? I have tried to contact beaks but my emails have not be returned and I can not find a phone number.

IMO beak's does not make these any other car, besides civic/integra.


Try putting it in one more time, and post a picture of the issue. You've got to be doing something wrong.lol

I have only heard of this issue 1 time, in that case he actually had the wrong kit.
