What do I need to install the MS3 swaybar?

Yeah, I have to agree with twinturbo on this, Tony. $120 and install it in 30 minutes? That's 100% "why the hell not?" in my book, even without the handling benefits.

There are few cars that handle like a Boxster S; that doesn't mean it's pointless to mod them. Sure, it would be pretty dumb to turbocharge a minivan, but who the hell would do something like that?
 
It also helps with initial turn-in TonyC, which comes into play when you have to avoid that crate of organic prunes that just fell off the back of the truck in front of you. ;) And mine was about 120 and totally worth it. Of all the mods i recently did to my van, this is the only one i'm completely happy with. it's a no brainer. Stop bitchin and do eeetttt!

but will it help the sudden braking I need when I stop to pick up said free plums off the road? cuz my gdamn plum tree is at least 2 years from fruiting.
 
No, that's what ur other planned MS3 conversion is for. Get 2 work ;)
 
What year Mazdaspeed3 bars will work? I know the part number is B37F-28-151.

You mentioned bushing part number 19-1182 but I had written down 19-1142-BL...I see now both are 26mm, the 1182 is greaseable.

I used all the MS3 hardware on my bar, used a 2nd gen one. I removed the collars from the bar and bolted everything right up.
 
I don't know that Moog makes the bushings you're looking for. I bought the James Barone Racing rear sway bar and it came with 32mm poly bushings and brackets. Measure the diameter of the MS3 sway bar and get right-sized greasable poly bushings from either energy suspension or prothane. With brackets it should cost you under $20, not including shipping.
You wouldn't happen to know the Moog part # for the bushings, would you?
