Where are you guys sourcing the Miata bar, and what else is needed to fit it? Interested in that split collar part # as well. Jon, are you trying to add the rear bar before Sunday too?

Go to a Mazda dealership and order one or order from a online dealership. It works out to about $100. I'd sell you mine but I'm not sure how much shipping would be.

I will have my car available for you all to look at at the Warminster T&T. Prefer PMs to keep this thread as broad as possible rather that extremely specific and individual stuff, but you can look at my wheels, sways, and whatever else you want. PM with questions you have. My car is super fast -- now I just have to catch up. Same for you, Jon -- we may want to come up with a collective plan of attack for the T&T. PM or email me.

I'm just curious why you would ever replace any of those, if they're not siezed up. Bushings, sure, but the bolts should outlive the car...

I'm replacing all of them because they are rusty, hard to turn, and two of them are siezed up. (the DF caster bolt, and one of the DR bolts) I'm wanting all new bolts for ease of alignments and mainly just have fresh everything.

If you actually look in the Honda manual too it says to replace them everytime they are torqued. Which is insane... I have done mine like 8 times maybe so far and had to issues....

Thats crazy! I've done 8 alignments on the car but two of them are "siezed" but at 152k I'm sure they've been torqued more then a fair share. I'm doing the bushings so I figured I'd go all out and replace everything. In the S2000 world whats $258.00? I can't buy anything for that.

Search car-part.com, there were plenty of them there for around the same price.
