    Update:
    Just did the driving with the front bar and OH MY. Coupled with the rear bar, it’s as if the rear bar is far more effective now that the front is planted. Nathan and I drove it back to back and we both just laughed.
    The rear of the car just feels like it wants to slide now (exactly what I wanted) and the steering is so insanely fast. Barely move the wheel and she’s going. Body roll is basically nonexistent. I can’t hardly put into words, but this thing is eager to dart in whatever direction I ask. It’s something you’d just have to experience

    What is the diameter of the stock front swaybar? I am looking to upgrade the swaybar bushings to polyurethane and Energy Suspension is a good option. Is it 20mm or 21mm? Thanks

    UPDATE: 18mm is the thickness of the sway bar, confirmed and test fitted with new bushings.

    Nowhere near 20/21 stock lol. Here’s the stock vs our 25.4mm bar. Oem is more like 14/15mm.

    I like your beefy sway bar. When would you have them available for sale and cost wise. I can just wait a bit to invest in the whole sway bar set rather than throwing in the cash just for polyurethane bushings and end links to compliment the stock sway bar. A lot of users here are very interested in this product and i hope the tests and reliability is going well. Keep us posted please.

    Well some updates:
    The sway bars both held up absolutely perfect after over a year and harsh Ohio winters.
    Unfortunately three months ago my car was at a red light and I was rear ended at about 40mph while I was stationary. It totaled my Mirage
    Hilariously both sway bars held up PERFECTLY and the front control arms bent but the sway bar didn’t haha. So these are beefy.
    If we had an R&D car to re mock with we could make this happen without an issue I’m sure just to check fitment again. With both sway bars, strut bar and the grippy tires I had, I had no issues picking a tire off the ground on hard cornering. Life changing!

    Sorry to hear about your Mirage being in rear ended in an accident. So what are you driving now? A new Mirage?
