Good question!

My 2 cents: the wide spacing of the 2 bolts per side removes the need for additional mounting points.

BUT... it would be easy enough to test:

If the gap between the corner of the bar and the torsion beam changes when one side is compressed and the other unloaded, then adding additional brackets & bushings to attach the bar to the beam would stiffen it even more.

The only issue with adding more points of attachment is that in order to do so, you will need to drill into the torsion beam. Which if I am not mistaken will weaken the torsion beam and cause failure. I had thought of a hand way of using a U shaped brack that does not require any drilling but it will need to BOLT clamp like a C-clamp does. or just have brackets welded to the torsion beam(more costly) but it would be stiffer and better for track day driving!

Definitely agree with all points of this post.

Thanks Ares, been trying to figure out how to make this car handle as good or better than my versa that we traded in for this little green beauty. I have since toned the exhaust down and started looking for some sort of lowering springs here in the us. I know there is a company locally that coils custom springs. Just gotta find them.

When I do find them I will begin my lowering process.

Am i it?

I got a reply from Evan. It doesn't matter what bars we order, the quantity is what matters. So if we get a quantity of 6 pieces sold, we get the $15 each piece.

Hi TheTransporter...

Congrats on the car & welcome. Where in Canada are you? We can check with Evan on shipping. (How many pieces - seriously, all 5?)

Im in edmonton alberta.

No all 6. There was six on the front page? I want to get the chassis stiff and solid then start tracking it and getting a feel for the car and learn the ropes.

Gunna be interesting tracking a car this small with this horsepower

I might have missed one. Will get back to you.

What prompted you to buy the Mirage as a track car? We have some Auto-Xers around. Feel free to post an intro thread so people can say hi and learn what you're up to.
