Not to burst your bubble here but... I dont think you can say which is a fav because we all generally chose between one of the two and go with it. You will probably just get guys shoutting out what they have on their cars.

Honestly, there isnt really a preference factor unless someone installs one, then goes through the hassle of uninstalling it and installing the other kit. Those are the opinions you are best to chase after.

With that said, i'd go with the BSQ for numerous reasons. Price, speed of delivery, customer service (bret) and bret's availability on the h-t forums to answer questions.

I will always support a good product and the genius behind sharing it with the rest of the Integra community.

Happy turkey day...

I got the Beaks kit and it worked great but I cannot knock the BSQ kit either. I have not used it but know of many people on here that use both. Either way I think you will be happy with which ever you get!

 

welcome to HT. Please learn to search.

Agreed!
You will be happy with what you get because they are both good kits.

 

i agree that most will put what they have unless they have a tear out....but this is good, im looking into the 23mm soon

 

On my integra, I made my own BSQ kit for about $4. So far no issues. I am however going to use a Beaks kit for my EG hb because I am getting an awsome deal on a used one.

BSQ is good for me

 

i heard bad things about the BSQ kit, something like the end links were making a bad angle to the LCA's and that idealy the endlinks on the sway bar should be perpendicular to the LCA's when they werent. and the result was a constant load on the sway bar when there should be no load on the sway bar when driving straight. something like that, then i have heard other people say that the Beaks kit worked perfect for them, with no problems. i bought the Beaks kit, but im yet to install my sway bar.

 

If you look at the two kits you will find that the BSQ looks much weaker then the Beaks. Now Im sure the BSQ works fine, but why go with little thin pieces of metal when you can go with something with real backbone to it?

 

the little thin pieces of metal provide a flat mounting surface to simulate the type-r subframe. I too noticed that the endlinks are at a minor angle. The easiest fix for that is to put a couple of washers on the bolt that connects the endlink to the LCA.

On my HB, im using the Beaks kit because my subframe does not have the top nut tack welded inside. I am getting a sick deal on it so why not. Once it is in, I can compare the 2.

So all in all, it depends on how much you want to spend. The BSQ kit is budget, and works great, loads of people will vouch for this. Beaks is excellent, and in my opinion better. But is it really worth $65??? If you have the money, and don't mind spending it, sure, get the beaks kit. Only thing is, you cant go back once you use a beaks kit because you have to remove the tacked on nuts inside the subframe...

anyways, hope that helps

 

Thanks for the info
where can i find that bret guy? and is he the person who came up with the BSQ kit??

Yeah also i noticed that the BSq kit looks homemade and i can make it on my own from a local hardware store but i havnet seen a beaks kit yet... someone on hondatech said they wripped out subframe from using a BEAKS kit, do you think i will have that constant load on my sway bar if i use the BSQ kit even tho i already have ITR rear LCA?

 

the post you are referring to said he had itr sway bar installed w/o the beaks kits... in my mind "w/o" means without...

just my 2 cents

 

naw he did have the beaks kit because i see the beaks kit on the sway bar along with the wrippped out subframe.. if i can find the pic ill post it up
also where can i get that D bracket cuz mines didnt come with one or where can i find the prothane bushin kit w bracket

 

you can get them from the dealer.

D bracket -- pt# 52308-SS0-000
Sway bar bushing pt# 52315-ST7-Z01


If you could find the pics i'd like to see them. I think we are talking about 2 different posts

 

I'm planning on getting the beaks kit just because the metal proviced is much thicker than the BSQ kit.

 

beaks kit also provides support on the inside of the subframe

I think this might be the pic you saw with the Beaks on a torn subframe.

 

YEAH its that **** ...

 

I had the BSQ. It works fine.

Damn, after reading all this, I am just goin to fork out extra money to get the comptech sway and lower tie bar.

 

so i decided to get the BSQ kit... thanks to everyones help, but i have one more thing to wonder about. some people also posted that after they put on the jdm itr rear sway bar that the car felt hella stiff and had hella tension on the bars from driving straight? would that be cuase he doesnt have the itr lca? beacse i have the ITR lca if that makes any difference!
thanks again

only problem with that is that I heard the endlinks used on the Comptech bar are junk.
