well, if you don't have rear sway bar mounting hardware already, imho, you should get it. It's a way good mounting kit, and reinforces your rear lower subframe, as delsol subframes are known to 'rip' if not reinforced.

I do have the standard mounting hardware that it came new with . I bought this used from a friend. I will be using this car for 10-12 auto-x and at least 4 HPDE's this year.

hmm, we'll I'd say try out the stock mounting hardware first but keep and eye out on your subframe.

You planning to go ITR rear swaybar at all?

This progress bar is a 22mm, just called the dude who sold it to me. Isnt that the same size as the ITR? Is there an advantage to getting the itr over what i got?

I will def. keep an eye on it.

US ITR rear swayzee is 22mm also, but progress should have their own mounting hw for their own bar; did yours come with a mounting kit from Progress?

As far as advantage, they should be close to being the same.

While on this topic, I have always been skeptical of the beaks kit. Does it really work? I mean, I can't really see how thick "washers" do all that much reinforcing unless they were welded to the frame or something. They certainly don't seem much wider than the bracket, so are they really distributing the stress any better?

I have the Susp. Tech rear sway bar, so maybe the hardware it comes with is a little different than other kits. It does have mounting plates that are thinner than the Beaks, but they are wider all around.
