Included with the sale was an Aussie Bar (uninstalled) to replace the rear sway bar! I believe only around 150 of them were made. Aussie Bar - Should I install it or sell for Cash?!?! Yes, it is rare and worth the install! No, take the cash! Anybody using the Aussie bar? How do you like it? Thanks for your opinions!

Box them babys in because an Aussie bar will snap them right off. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I'd still box them in, but it's far less critical. I have a quick'n'dirty reinforcement and mount, and 425# rear springs. It shows no sign of weakening or bending, even working it hard like I do. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
