I went with a ITR bar, it's cheaper. Here's a past thread regarding the beaks and BSQ kit https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=70453
The Skunk2 and ITR sway bars are the same size (22mm)

do they mount the same way(the itr and the skunk),and do you think the beaks kit is needed with either the neuspeed or skunk,i bought vtec delsol lca and want to be positive before deciding between the 3 itr,skunk,neuspeed.all the other companies mount at the end of the control arms is one way better than the other (i figure neuspeed or skunk they mount the same as oem)thanks for the help!

I have a Neuspeed 19mm on my 99 ex (22mm front stock). I don't have any basis for comparison, but I can tell you this is a good bar.

The subframe reinforcments are very beefy. As far as the 19mm size, I like it. It really cuts down on the understeer, but not so much that the back end does anything unexpected. I didn't really want to change the character of the car, I just wanted it to rotate. It does still push when going through corners, but nothing like it did before. The major drawback with the NS bar is that costs about $250, vs about $140 for the ITR & reinforcements.

I chose the neuspeed bar (which is just sitting in my apartment right now), over the ITR bar and others because I hear the larger diameter bars often cause sub frame frame tear out. I also have had large sway bars on other cars I've owned and a car that is neutral or has oversteer can be quite tricky to control, and even scary. I'd rather have a little bit of understeer, which I think is more desirable for street driving.
I'm glad to hear that the Neuspeed bar is working for you Razon. I was considering going with the Comptech 22mm, which I've heard good things about, but finally decided on smaller diameter bar. Hopefully it will, along with some stiffer springs, give me the kind of perfromance I'm looking for.
