I know 6th gen civics (non-type-r) have a fairly weak sub-frame. They made it sound like the 5th gen's had a stronger sub-frame, which is why no 5th gens had the problem. Is that true? Either way, I agree, get a beaks kit. For $65, it's definstly worth it.
I've heard of this from friends too as well. That's the setup I have on my coupe, ITR rear bar and Beak's kit. Not sure of the hatch subframe is different than the coupe subframe, but reguardless, I still check mine periodically for any signs of tearout. So far so good.
