Hmm well i was thinking of getting a rear sway bar kit and wasn't sure what would be better to get..The ASR subframe reinforcement with the Type R bar or the beaks kit
What do you guys think

Also do you guys think this is worth it??

What you get is:

Beaks SRK-EK subframe reinforcement
O.E. Acura Integra Type-R rear stabilizer bar, 22mm diameter
O.E. Honda Civic Si rear stabilizer end-link assemblies
Prothane polyurethane bushing and bracket kit
Installation instruction with photos

For $440.50 includes everything tax and shipping?

or is that wayyyy to much for a rear sway bar kit on a car that would never see a track in its life time?

If your not going to hit the track, and don't plan on doing much aggressive driving, then the beaks kit should suffice, however the ASR is ultimately a superior product, and may very well be worth its price for the peace of mind.

That price seems decent if all the items are brand new. However, I think you can get the ASR kit with a swaybar for around the same price. Not sure though.

I think you'd be better off not beating on your car and saving the money. 440 for not a whole lot of difference, IMO, isnt worth it, yeah it'll be more level in corners, but for a car that never sees the track, the money could be better spend elsewhere.

And poly is only useful if you replace all the bushings, otherwise in some cases they work against the OEM rubber bushings and also can cause binding.

i'd get nothing less than an asr for eks. there has been tearouts with bsq and the beaks kit on ek subframes. ek subframe are much weaker than the egs and dcs due to the mounting points of the d brackets. soft spring rates also cause more stress on your subframe with a thick *** rear bar. so if you run a fairly soft spring setup and a type r bar with just beaks kit, you are still prone to rip the subframe. it also matters by how you drive it. some guys run their cars super gangsta low and when they go over bumps they go across diagonally. this puts more stress on the subframe as to going over it at the same time with both wheels so both wheels share the same load. anyways, don't get it unless you plan on taking it to some lapping days or an autox event.

ASR...For the peace of mind.

it's not just about track time. esp street cars that pull into driveways, drive throughs, parking garages... my honda lifts up the back wheel off the ground as it drives into a parkinglot... usually about 2-3 inches off the ground. this is the rear sway bar picking up the opposite wheel... this sway bar torsion is what stresses the subframe. I would absolutely get the ASR brace or a Comptech combo.

I've had the Beaks on my 1.6EL, before I got rid of it and went with the peice of mind the ASR offers. Also, never liked the idea of drilling the already thin subframe which you must do with Beaks kit. ASR is bolt-up, no drilling and is far superior to beaks in everyway.

You can pick up an ASR brace for $200-$250 and a used ITR rear sway bar with bushings, etc for $100-$125. TCC and also Clubel.ca are good places to check the classifieds.

The EK's cannot use ITR end-links so you'll have to ensure you get Civic SIR end-links or RSX ones also fit. The ITR end-links only work on EG and Integras.

if you're not going to track your car even once, then i wouldn't bother putting on a sway bar. save your money and spend it elsewhere cuz it's not something you feel driving around town.

just my 2cents

Same with my car.

You either weld in a plate behind the subframe mounting point, or you use something that will help ****** the load around.
