I'm interested but $175 USD is pricey enough for me without the international shipping.

Do you have any free time in June? There is a meet-up planned in Port Washington, WI (north of Milwaukee) hosted by spork. Daox is planning on being there. For a (long) weekend road trip you could have one installed.

I have been working with different suppliers, clearing up any issues and questions they might have had, figuring out paint specs (powder coating, not just any old paint) and that sort of stuff. I think I have it mostly worked out, but I am still waiting to hear from a few places. I'll be calling them up today and seeing what the issue is! However, I do have a supplier selected already and I'll probably be going with them as they've actually been responsive.
If all goes well, I hope to place the order for the bars in about 2 weeks. Quoted production time is 6-8 weeks. I am planning to have sway bars for those who come to the Midwest Mitsubishi Mirage Meet. Saving on shipping is a big chunk of change in the price of the bar.

I've decided to change the design slightly. It'll decrease the likelihood of cracking welds. It makes setup easier, but there is more welding. Hopefully it won't affect the price at all. Sending out more request for quotes again.
I'm still really hoping to see more interest in these. I'd love to be able to lower the price even more.

Have you trimmed the corner that sticks down at the end in your design? Seems to me there's some unnecessary steel there that could hang up on road hazards and a chamfer would mitigate the risk of suspension damage from a rock or something. You've done the FMEA and structural analysis not me, so I'll trust your judgement if you think it's better without trimming.

Yep. It has been trimmed up and looks prettier. This is the general idea:

Thanks Bzacon!
So, I have quotes back and the design change did raise the price, but not enough to make much difference. The final price will be $175 shipped. If you are local, you can save yourself $25 and pick it up at the Midwest Mitsubishi Mirage Meet, or sooner if they're done much before hand.
I am going to start a new thread for the sway bar buy just to separate it from the development thread.
