I'm asking if anyone on HT has any experince with the Beaks Reinfocment Kit, and if will work well with the 23mm ITR bar. Just exploring some options.

 

beaks is great. i had mine with the 22mm itr bar. loved it.

 

It's a gimmick. You need a real reinforcement brace or the subframe will tear. ASR, Function7, BWR, Comptech are brands to look at.

I have an ASR brace and would recommend it.

 

Still have mine. 23mm Cusco bar on it. Not a gimmick, just doesn't seem to appear as structurally sound as the ASR unit that's out there. Had mine for over 10 years. No rips or tears in the LCA housing structure.

Beaks was the first out there, and they've gotten better as well.

 

How much abuse do you put on it?

I only plan some light - moderate abuse, light track use to some spirited driving, not trying to get into Honda Challenge lol

 

Another question I need to ask is, how exactly does the subframe brace actually keep the subframe from tearing? It looks like it is just basically connected to the subframe just with extra pieces, if someone can give me a simple explanation it would be nice
