    Here are some pictures of the bar itself. Taking GOOD pictures of a black part is hard, haha.

    You'll notice the bar goes through the end pieces and is welded on both sides. This was the last design tweak to strengthen the welded joint. On my prototype, the bar just butts up to the end piece and is welded only on that one side.

    The ends get plastic push in caps to keep junk out.

    Here is the hardware it'll come with. I went with allen cap screws since clearance is tight on the front bolt, and getting a wrench in there is a pain in the butt. You will need an 8mm allen wrench for these bolts.

    I will get a DIY for the install written in the next day or two. It basically mounts the same way the ultra racing brace mounts though, to the bottom of the spring perches.

    Alright, I just got in from putting the production sway bar on my Mirage. It fit up pretty nice. Its a little tight in the front with the brake line clips, but not a problem. However, there is one thing that I didn't like, and that is the hardware. I selected allen head bolts because I figured it would be easier to install and tighten the front bolt. I was wrong. You can install it, but its a pain, and it is an even bigger pain if you want to get it off. I just ordered a bunch of hex head bolts as those were easier to use. So, it'll be a few days until I get those in. If you want yours shipped now, let me know and I can do that too with the existing allen head bolts.

    Here are a few sneak peek pics in the mean time.
