Description
If you're only going to do one thing to your ND, this is what it should be. Tame that body roll! Speed up transitions! Fine-tune your handling balance to your preference!
Sway bars are used to make your car corner flatter and react faster by keeping the body (and all the weight) under control. Ours are set up for neutral handling and are adjustable so you can tailor the handling of your Miata to your own driving style.
Our swaybars are hot formed from 4140 CrMo spring steel. This means they're stronger than the cold-formed bars found elsewhere. We've designed them to keep the same handling balance as your stock sways, but they have three settings in the front and three in the rear for fine-tuning.
The front bar is a tubular design with 1.125" diameter and 0.188" wall thickness, while the rear is a solid 0.625". Both have three adjustment holes and include polyurethane bushings, brackets and grease. The front bar also includes stoppers to keep it from sliding side to side.
Also available as individual front and rear bars if necessary.
Be aware that in specific situations - stock (i.e., soft) springs, very sticky tires, and very aggressive driving - the front sway bar mounts can rip off. This isn't likely with stiffer springs (like our FM springs) or more gentle driving, but our reinforcement brackets (available above) are an easy install and a cheap insurance.
There are some kits on the market that reinforce the rear sway bar mounting brackets. We haven't figured out why, as they're a decently strong part that has shown no weakness either in our testing or during the MX5 Global Cup development. Our sway bar manufacturer and design partner can't come up with a reason to reinforce them either. While it may be possible to show on a test bench that these parts deform under hard use, what really matters is how the bars perform in testing. And in our testing, they perform very nicely.
Note that our front sway bar matches the ND1 and ND2 sway bar shape, which is a little different than the ND3 sway bar. However, our front (and rear) sway bar(s) still fit perfectly on all NDs, including the ND3.

Quality product, very difficult to install in ND Miatas. This is helped tremendously by the installation video that is posted to the FM channel on YouTube.
If you have an ND Miata I'm sorry, but Mazda made this one of the biggest pains in the ass out there! FlyinMiata has some great videos that walk you through it and it's 100% worth it.
I would change ONE thing from their excellent instructions: When you go to put the intermediary pipe back on there's a much easier method. In their video they get the sway bar in place and mounted and then re-attach that pipe. If you slide the bar into place but don't bolt it down, just let it rest on the cross members, you can push it out of the way and line that pipe and bolts up. THEN you bolt the bar down. It's a lot easier that way. With the bar just resting in place you can move it up and away so and get the rear bolt started.
Regardless, once you have the bars installed the car is so much more planted in corners it's not even funny. It might take you hours of wrestling the old bar out but it's so worth it!
The rear bar is so easy I think it took me longer to get the car up on the jack stands than it did to replace the bar!
Just had Flyin Miata ND sway bars installed front and rear. Body roll has been tamed! Cornering flatter without loss of ride quality or snap oversteer. Very happy with this mod. These are set in the middle (neutral position). Front sway bar is a pain to remove.
Had this done at Turnin Concept, Cincinnati, OH. Highly recommend them as well!
Ended up cutting the factory sway bar so removal was very easy, but installing the new ones took awhile and took some finagling. Took about 4 hours with help and I had my car on jack stands. If I had a lift it would’ve taken half the time
I originally made the purchase because of Flyin' Miata's recommendation that this be the first major upgrade to do to a Miata. Boy were they right. As said by others, some of the body roll is gone and it just feels more planted.
I can't believe how much of the dead zone has shrunk. it's still there, but isn't nearly as big. I'm going to get the alignment FM recommends in the knowledge base. My hope is that this tightens things up even more.
The OEM front sway bar removal is exceedingly hard. There is one bolt and one maneuver when removing the OEM front bar that together took up most of my time. Read the comments in the you tube video, there are a couple good tips buried in there.
Also, a ratcheting wrench set is almost mandatory for one bolt and really nice for a couple more.
