Default Sway Bar Question...

Should I buy a brand new suspension tech. rear sway bar for my 98' ex for around $100, or should I spend the extra money for the beaks ITR kit?

Yes, it is much better and you dont have to worry about subframe tearout like the ST bar has caused on a LOT of cars.

Will I have to drill holes in the frame with the ITR bar like on the ST bar?

Yes, with the Beaks kit you need to drill 2 holes. It litteraly took me less then 5 minutes to measure and drill both holes. Just use the actual Beaks plates to mark the new holes, move them out of the way and drill.

Yes, one hole on each side. You already have holes to bolt up an si rear sway bar but the itr is a lot bigger and the holes need to be wider. I have had the itr bar with beaks kit on my car for almost two years and the subframe is perfect. This isnt from just driving around on the street either.
