I want to get a rear sway bar and tie bar for my EK, the Beaks kit comes with a 21 mm sway bar and the SRR only uses a 19 mm. I'm not too familiar with the sizes of sway bars. Will this be a huge diffrence in performance or is not that big of a deal ? The SRR kit comes complete with all the hardware and it comes with the lower tie bar.

 

I just posted a big write up on my ITR bar. Beaks will give you an 22mm ITR bar

Yeah, I think the 22mm can make a difference, not huge, but yea. I think the price for the beaks will run you around 200-250 depending on if you buy it as a whole or pieces. I think the Beaks is the better what to go. Unless your getting the Comptech, which is good, but I heard small complaints about there endlinks and sqweaking

 

Beaks kit comes with a 22mm bar.

It will depending on the size of your front bar. If you have an Si or a 26mm front bar, you're going to experience some understeer with the SRR kit. With the beaks/ITR rear bar, your car should be a little bit more neutral.

I'd stick with the ITR bar if I were you.

 

what lower tie bar is compatible with the beaks kit then, will the SRR lower tie bar bolt up even if i use the beaks .

 

i know for sure because i've had both, that the DC and Benen lower tie bar will work with the Beaks kit on an EK.
Beaks kit is the shizzle

personally, I would pass on the SRR rear swaybar kit. construction is a little funky IMO.

 

i love my set up, ive never had anything else though so i can't compare to other things. but the whole kit is very very strong there is no real weak point that i have ever notived, my hatch never has or had a front setup so that will hopefully be added when i put a new motor in, and tonyXcom im not really sure what funky construction you are talking about i thought it was very very good

 

I was thinking about this SRR lower tie bar as well (sponsors marketplace) but am not sure if it will work with ST rear sway?

 

what lower tie bars are you using with the beaks kit ?

I particularly dont like the stampted steel brackets that bolts to the sub frame. and the heavy tie bar between. It may not be that big of a deal on en EG, but on an EK, it doesn't offer much tear out protection.

My vote is for the Beaks/ITR setup or the Comptech.

my vote too. definately can't go wrong with those two...although the comptech's price is little steep.

 

my friend has the comptech setup, and i have thought about buying the setup too, but i got my whole SRR kit for 400 LCA's, sway, and tie bar. i have been thinking about trying the comptech setup though
