I was gonna say as well, the Si comes factory installed with a 13mm rear swaybar, and a 26mm front.

Integra GSR comes with a 14mm and for some reason, the Del Sol VTEC comes with a 15mm rear swaybar.

I have a 22mm Integra Type-R rear swaybar, and a Beak's kit holding it on and I haven't yet had any problems. I angle up driveways since my car is lowered on a set of Tein coilovers, and sometimes a wheel will come off the ground and into thr air, and still yet that hasn't done anything to my subframe. I remember hearing why tearout can still happen with a Beak's kit, but it had something to do with using too high of a spring rate, or maybe it's putting the bar on not stiff enough springs. It was one of those two. But if everything is setup right, then it shouldn't be an issue if a reinforcement kit is used. All in all it's mainly a metter of regularly checking up on your subframe and making sure all is copasetic down there. I check and clean mine up pretty regularly.
