22mm sway bar on EG, reinforcement kit?

[BlueSiR]

ok, did a few reaarch , found out tat if u install thicker sway bar on EG, u have to install reinforcement kit at da same time so tat ur sub frame wont tear apart. such as ITR sway bar 23mm ,whiteline 23mm or thicker..

What ive read you would still have too.

yes you still have to use reinforcement..
there are a few types around. Heres links to them all. I purchased the ASR kit and it cost me an arm and a leg but at least i get peace of mind. You can gets beaks or BSQ kits aswell, but they have more of a chance of still ripping your subframe.. Ive never heard of any issues with Beaks / BSQ in an EG, bit supposedly with an EK they are a whole heap more prone to damage in this area. I figured with the ASR, it is expensive, but not as expensive as having to repair the subframe!!

Do a little more searching into it and if you wanna get the ASR, i know of a group buy on at the moment. I purchased mine through a previous group buy for $195 USD delivered to my door and two other Australians have jumped in on this group buy, both who use ozhonda also.

I hope this helps a little.
You can get the BSQ for around $35 USD shipped i think.. Beaks will end up costing you a bit over $100 AUD and i payed $195 USD for the ASR kit delivered, so there is quiet a price difference between the few.. Im not sure if there are other reinforcement brands around, these are the only ones i know of and came across through my research.

by the way, EG5 had a ITR swaybar on his EGK20A (unsure whether 22/23, 1mm is not that big a difference either way).. He used the Beaks kit and had no problems at all..
