Beaks sub-frame brace or ASR sub-frame brace? What do I need

By ForneyHatch
- Sun Sep 25, 2011 6:43 pm #274410 I want to circuit race/autocross my EG hatch. I will be purchasing ITR 22mm rear sway. I have a GSR 14mm sway but want to upgrade. I have stiff rear 500lb springs with sticky 225 55 15 tires. What will be the best rear sub-frame brace to prevent or avoid sub-frame tear out? I have the necessary Integra rear LCAs. I would appreciate any input or philosophies on this matter. Thanks.

Touche

It is a kit, however not a brace like the ASR unit as the OP thought.

Ive used it on two different cars, one with a stock sway bar and once with their 24mm bar. No complaints from me.
