hey guys ive been searchin around and im not sure what i should get for my EK sedan. i want a rear sway bar (around 22mm-24mm) unless somebody can suggest otherwise. i was just wondering if the ASR is worth the extra cash. im on a tight budget and this is my daily driver.

any help and opinions would be greatly appreciated:D

well they are totally different

the ASR subframe brace spreads across the entire rear subframe. it supports the entire thing

the beaks brace is only around the bolt up points..

id go the ASR imo

I have the ASR, I prefer it because it doesn't affect your ground clearance.

youre thinking of the beaks tie bar, not the beaks subframe reinforcement

2 things here

1. no it wouldnt be. thatd be the price that you pay from a retailer in america, or the base price before postage

2. even if it did include postage, thats postage to places in AMERICA. not AUSTRALIA. youd be charged more

There have been known failures with the beaks kit, however as dudeling7 said I havent heard of any failures with ASR.

no. the tie bar does what its name implies

it ties the mounting points of the LCAs together

has anybody used the whiteline reinforcement kit. i know its not as good as the asr but i really dont wanna spend so much money on a daily driver. the whiteline kit im talking about is BHR83XZ.

i've seen the whiteline reinforcement kit, its pretty crappy, looks similar to the ASR design but the quality is not up to scratch

ive been reading around. apparently the beaks kit is all good when the rear springs are stiff enough. anybody heard anything similar?

how much dose the ASR kit sell for??? and is there a limit to how high / low the car can be without upsetting it?

from jdm yard it cost around $375 as opposed to the whiteline for around 300 which also comes with an adjustable 22mm bar. as far as lowering goes the only problem should be ground clearance
