Since Mackdaddyslomo "stole" my MSP sway bar kit from me, anyone know where I can locate a set? Maybe know of someone who is selling theirs? Id rather not pay the 257.00 + shipping for the kit from Mazdastuff.com, but will if nothing comes about from parts shopping and forum surfing.

You all keep your ears open!! Thanks.

stole ??? I paid for 'em fair & square///I was just quicker to pay geronimo

Exactly my point. You beat me to em and that sux ass!! I got all excited and what not b/c I was looking for that kit. By the time I scrolled down to one of his replies to see if the bars were still available, it was probably too late. So.... in essense, you "stole" em from me. Im a moment too slow! But if you ever have any buyer's remorse and wanna let em go, let me know.

What's up with your Negative rep?

I have no idea!! I really don't understand the whole reputation thing. I know you're supposed to give people good/bad rep based on the information/responses they give to topics. But I apparently piss people off and they give me bad rep b/c I made em mad. So I don't really care whether or not its good or bad. I can't control it so I don't pay attention to it. Of course I wish it was more green than red, but whatever!

I'd say bite the bullet and just get the whole set.

Mine will be installed Wednesday. I'll do a lapping day Sun.

it's worth the money for the kit
you get things i didn't even think about..like exhaust gaskets
who knew the exhaust drops out to put on sway bars

new, longer, rear end-links come with it (i didn't use them)
plus the new rear sub-frame is good for clearing the thicker bar

I realized I probably shouldn't cheap out on these bars, so like previously mentioned, I'll "bite the bullet" and probably end up ordering from Mazdastuff.com. I have to order the MSP/Pro5/MP3 strut tower bar from them anyways. Might as well do a combo order and see if I can save on shipping or get a discount for ordering multiple items. We'll see!

Thanks all for those that replied.

Good luck. It's well worth it.

I had mine installed at the dealer b/c of time, and probably that I'll mess things up. You're looking at 6.5 hours of labour for the swaybar kit. Most of the time comes from the rear subframe.

I found the bar set cheaper that what Mazdastuff.com sells it for. A forum member on here works at a dealership and says he can sell me the bar kit with everything included for 357.00 (I think?) shipped. Thats 10.00 cheaper than retail on the website, but I also save with shipping. Im going for it, YEAH!!!

I ended up purchasing the kit from JONBOY688 along with the red P5 strut bar that comes stock on those vehicles. Everything cost me around 425.00 (IIRC), which included PayPal fees.

Bump for JONBOY688 for selling me the kit. It will be here next Wednesday (8/17).

Update!!

Received the swaybar kit (and strut bar) last Thursday and everything is great. Minor chips on the strut bar, but nothing major. Shipping was quick and product is in good condition. Everything was packaged very well and all the necessary bolts, nuts, gaskets, endlinks are included. I would recommend this member to anyone who needs any Mazda parts. Prices are competitive, yet fair.
