Default Beaks subframe reinforcement kit

Hey HT,
i was planning on getting a beaks reinforcement kit, and was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with it as in the install. Was it easy? ive read some forums about how you have to remove the tacked nut. Idk why this would be necessary? but yeah lmk, pics would help.
thanks guys.

I have it on my integra. It was very basic to install. A drill and bit is all you need to enlarge the holes. Knocking off the tacked nut was the biggest pain in the *** really.

That's on Ek. It'll never happen on eg/dc chassis. Ek has a different style subframe. Either way it's an older thread. I'm sure he's already got it.

I've had my Beaks kit on for about 5 years, hundreds of autox's, many thousands of street driving miles and 3 very different rear spring rate setups(near ~140lbs/in, 550lbs/in and 800lbs/in(current)). No issues and I still have full confidence in the kit.
