o man do i need a disc conversion lol either that or sand/paint the drum.<p>




sway bar hits exhaust pipe -> must be removed.
U-Clips removed from bushings.


watch for the flange as it has one nut welded to it. the other is bolt/nut combo


used wd-40 for lubricant & just removed rubber-hanger support from rear of exhaust 1 of 3 rubber hangers.


2 small screws should take care of that


my pea shooter.


fuel tank straps were removed. fuel tank dropped about 1.5" - held up by jack & wood block.


watch for these as they might get caught but shouldn't be a threat.


tilt your head for this one. much more space after removing the muffler


POOF! no more oem sway bar! it was a sinch to remove.


voila! suspension technique sway bar in place ready for install.


be liberal with the grease


these bushings are huge compared to stock


had a weird time putting this bushing U-clip on because the bolt came too close to the hump





feels great to drive
gL on your install

Would not post them if I thought they weren't suitable for our cars now would I
ST185 owners use them when they get a stiffer rear sway bar. The "Miata" endlink is between 10,5-10,8 cm from "eye to eye" I measured my own Endlink and its the same. Dont think US has a different size endlink.

And the Miata endlink is adjustable +/- 2/3mm The Whiteline Universal endlinks from 90-115mm so enough room to get them precisly as long as our stock ones.
