Yes, I do still have a bunch of these for sale.
I'd rather not divulge too much design info as I just paid roughly half the price of my car to have the bars made. Rest assured, I've been a professional industrial mechanical designer for many years.

Can we ship them to Canada? I'm torn between a sway bar, and just stiffer rear shocks (as I bottom out hard after a grocery store run.)
Too much info to try and sift through to figure out what shocks I would want, so depending on the price to ship to Squamish, that could help me make up my mind.
Probably prohibitively expensive.

If your main concern is bottoming out, you want to search the rear spring replacement threads. Some owners have installed coils from different cars (VW if memory serves).
The bar will just make the car more fun to drive (flatter cornering).

I wasn't planning to do any modifications to my 2017 Mirage ES (manual). I sort of like the car as is. If I had one concern, it was how the car handled at high speeds during a cross wind. Buying Daox sway bar has helped address that issue. The rear sway bar really helps plant the car to the road. Even with skinny factory tires, you can sense a real difference in the car. Although cornering is much better, I appreciate the extra control on the highway even more. I was once a sway bar skeptic, but no more!
I doubt the sway bar will address the issue of the rear end bottoming out, because the rear sway bar serves a different purpose. If I bought a second Mirage, I would order a rear sway bar immediately. I like my rear sway bar that much, & I would never leave home without it!
It's funny because the swaybars for my other vehicle are tossed in the back corner of the shed. Yes I tried to see if I could make them work. Hell no hahaha.

The sway bar may help a little bit by keeping the body level instead of letting one side dip down but you would need taller or stiffer Springs if you're really having an issue with both Wheels rubbing.

I've taken steps to address the knocking & creaking sounds I've been hearing from my rear axle since installing this anti-sway bar. I'll include the pictures from my earlier post for comparison.
I marked an outline around the brake line bracket before dismounting my bar. With a rusty hacksaw frame, a fresh blade, some bar-chain oil used as cutting fluid and a 4" angle grinder I removed a bit of material.
It's not scientific but is effective.
The rear axle is now as silent as stock. I've also experimented with some springs, but that'll be another post.
