    It's possible we could do something like that. However designing a sway bar is not child's play. You need to choose the alloy of steel, and if its a high alloy you have to stress relieve it after welding or you have a weak spot. You also need a welder and a way to bend solid steel bar. It's not exactly easy. IMO the benefits of doing a group buy or having a batch made by a company (or individual) who knows what they are doing is worth it. Plus you get the discount for having a batch made. Your average welder doesn't know how to do that let alone have the equipment to do it.


    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    The best would be if someone were to draft this using CAD software, that way we could all just take that design to a local welder and get this done on our own dime. The DIY intake folks here put together a 3D printed MAF housing, I think we could do something similar with this. How awesome would it be for the Mirage aftermarket to strive for a degree of "open source" accessibility?
    That was a brilliant idea ! The shipping cost would be more than the part it self, for me.
    Some day maybe it look like this, if my son get what he want :-)

    4,000 pesos, so that's around 3,000 baht.

    You don't live in Thailand? If not, how about shipping cost? 3000thb is about $84

    Progress makes nice looking stuff. Their Honda Fit rear sway bar looks similar to our setup.

    I would be in for an American made product that is at least as effective as the Ultra Racing design.
