Default Progress rear anti-roll bar or Beaks kit?

Anyone have any opinions on the Progress rear anti-roll bar (22mm I believe) for a '99 Si/SiR? I recently had to repair my subframe because my Skunk2 bar tore up the passenger side. I've been having a hard time finding pics of the Progress bar but in the 2 pics I've found of a '98 EX sedan, I've noticed that it mounts slightly differently than other aftermarket anti-roll bars for the EK. It seems very few people have used the Progress bar, hence, I haven't heard of anyone breaking anything with it. I've also considered the Beaks kit to go with my Skunk2 bar but am skeptical of what it can do considering it only looks like a couple of standoff blocks with longer bolts holding it all together. Am I missing something or is the Beaks kit actually effective?

TIA

there's still a chance of tearout with the beaks. Go comptech for sure, that kit includes everything down to the endlinks and has it's own subframe reinforcement

I have a Whiteline Australia adjustable rear sway bar. Comes with end links, urethane mounting bushings, and subframe reinforcement brackets. Even with shipping its much cheaper than comparable and lesser products. 24mm = .95 inches.

I have seen some of Progress' work up close. It was a custom spring rate coilover install, corner weighted and balanced on the Honda Tuning "draggin waggin". I would trust them with my first born, swear to god, that's good stuff. The beaks kit... that's just a band aid.
