MS3 sway bars wanted

[hat1018]

WTB front and rear sway bars from 07-09 Speed3. Not sure if 10 Speed3 swaybars will fit my 06 MZ3, if they do I am interested in them too. I want to upgrade but not go broke to do it.

C'mon people, someone has their old sway bars just collecting dust in the garage, sell them to me and free up some space.

PM'd you... while I figure out the rear bar confusion, I've also got a set of springs with only 1,291 miles on them, if you are interested.

I got your pm. If I could link you to a pic or post one I would. I am kind of a tech/computer retard. My wife posted my avatar pic for me. As far as the springs go, I am not sure as to the amount of drop I would get with Speed3 springs. I already drag occasionally now and I hate it, on the other hand I hate the wheel gap too. Maybe, I have to wait and see how the tax refund works out first. Front and rear way bars first for sure.

I can see the Cobb bar in my mind - the general design - and I don't think the bar I found in the garage is what came off this car so that I could put the Cobb piece on - I know, pretty pathetic. If I have a little time tomorrow, I'll put the wife's car out, and do a little digging. I'll let you know what surfaces... Dave

Cool, thanks.

I think i still have mine, there is some bar on the shelf over there that i thought i sold. I do have stock Mazdaspeed 3 springs.
Here is the the thing in spring i will likely sell my Cobb springs and my Rear Hotchkis bar and bushings. Sounds like stx 195 is your man though.
ps i just looked its the front bar, rear is gone.
BTW i have to approach my drive ramp at an angle already. That at a only 1" lower front and i am going a smidgin lower. Probaly have to get on a neighbors drive down the street and drive down the sidewalk to get her on my driveway and in the garage!
I cannot go into Delta sonic anymore thats for sure haaha. But she do look good watching eveyone else including new vettes go in and get all clean. It is something you really need to be aware of
pm if all else fails!

 

[hat1018]

So Eric, you only have the front Hotchkis bar right?

 

[ericrapp]

Ha , i am a goof sorry.
I have the Hotchkis Front and Rear on the car now. there is a significant chance that iwill exchange out the rear soon for a tri point engineering unit, ( take a look maybe)
What i saw on my garage shelf was the stock front bar. I also have the stock mazdaspeed 3 springs on another shelf in the garage. Ihave a set of coil over suspension i assume will be installed this spring-may. That will make my currently installed Cobb springs available. does that make any sense :rolleyes

Ok,ok,ok stock front bar. That is what I want to get. I/we got a bit confused. My pm box was getting blown up big time and I got pretty crossed up there for a bit. Do you have the stock rear bar as well, as I would rather match them up. If you don't maybe stx has his rear bar and I will have a set. Fingers crossed!

 

[ericrapp]

Sorry that was my fault glad we are clear and Good luck. By the way sway bars can be the best bang for the buck and really improve a drivers experience!

 

[hat1018]

I know, problem is all the parts places want a fortune for aftermarket sway bars. I am hoping that this route can save me some cash. The cheapest I have found is like $340, I am hoping I can spend $200ish shipped for someones stock Speed3 bars. I get an upgrade and the wife doesn't have a cow. lol

 

[stx195]

I found that rear OEM bar. It was in the Cobb box on a shelf. It was easy to find when I figured out what I had to look for.

That being said, a new bar is $ 179... this bar I have here was on the car for a little over 3,000 miles. I'm thinking $ 75 plus shipping.

Work for you?

Dave

 

[ericrapp]

I was going to recommend the Tri Point one available from our approved vendor list. Take a look.
But you are not going to beat Dave's deal.
imo consider the springs too!
I will stay tuned

I may be interested is the speed3 springs. No drop or very little at least from what I have read when installed on a n/a 3. But they are like 30% stiffer than stock 3 springs. PM me a price shipped 44864.
