Beak's kit isn't good enough. For that bar (or ITR or similar bars) you'll need the A-spec Racing swaybar reinforcement kit. The DC2 ITR holds up because it's rear subframe is made from durable "1/8th thick steel, opposed to the paper thin 20 gauge metal of the EK/EG subframe. The ITR one was designed to accomidate a 22mm (or even the Mugen 27mm) rear swaybar without ANY complications. Beak's explained this to me in a very detailed and lengthy email when the subframe on my '00 coupe tore out on me from the 22mm ITR bar I used to have. Now I run a 15mm Del Sol VTEC bar and the differance isn't really all too noticeable.
