it would be a safe bet it will hold up better then the beaks or the bsq kits, where its only reinforced only at the boltin holes, rather the aspec plate is a complete one piece to evenly distributed the load. its a winner.

I have the Comptech tie/sway bar. No problems after a year or autocrossing. Definitely a better improvement over my stock Si sway bar.
