without getting too technical about EK and EG subframe differences (larger surface area on ASR, etc),
i think what i said is valid. i searched honda-tech, and there really isnt anything there that i havent read before on other forums.
the main thing that most ppl agree on is that the Beaks kit is fine if you're a daily driver and rarely/occasionally go on track (which is fine with me).
while the more "hardcore" driver "should" get the ASR for added peace of mind.

many ppl who've had the Beaks for 2-3 years track occasionally have said their subframe looks fine. but they upgrade to ASR for "peace of mind" and it looks better:thumbsup:

dont get me wrong, i think the ASR bar is great, but double the price.
ASR is about 300-350 deliverd?
i got my Beaks for 150 delivered.

Subframes are still known to have been ripped out with the Beaks kit on daily driven cars. Whether these are isolated incidents or not, it is hard (if not impossible to say). I will dig up some of the threads, but this is what influenced me to go with the ASR kit.

The extra cost still saves a heck of a lot of money compared to replacing the subframe and to date I have not read of any subframe rips with the ASR kit compared to the beaks kit.

Just a few threads (but there are literally heaps):

thanks for clearing that up Zdster.

Remember for EK
buy beaks V2
theyve added another block with the kit to strengthen it
ppl with ripped subframes had the V1
