figured I'd just chime in...I purchased a set WAY back as well, maybe like 9-10 yrs ago and I have run them with the stock sway bar. Absolutely no issues and like Crispy mentioned...these are indestructible especially when you compare them to the joke that is the stock mounts.

Enjoy these, those of you who got on the list.

according to my girlfriend, I need to buy the bushings as well, so I've updated the list to reflect that.

David is willing to open more spots if anyone else wants in. He is setting up his CNC and production will begin at the end of the month. Shipping will be around mid-April. When the time comes we will set something up and I will contact anyone on the list.

Unfortunately, we're not talking about buying material for a 1-2 year production run; which is where a majority cost saving come into play for machined parts. Tooling, labor, engineering time, etc... all need to be accounted for. If David can find a way to cut costs I'm sure he would, but if you do some research the price for these have not increased dramatically over the past 2-3 years. I'm not sure David knows what inflation is. haha j/k I'll keep you all posted if things change.

I've been waiting for these for at least a year. Glad the community still wants these made because they are badass!

Blackadde - Would you have David confirm the current Tri Point bushing mount will work on older sway bar mounts? I just want to make sure the design hasn't changed. Can you also confirm the radiator bracket is included with the current sway bar mounts? Thanks.

So, I'm running the Tri-Point bar on mainly a street application. I wouldn't need the bronze bushings if going to this mount if a majority of my driving is for spirited street driving, correct? What's the main benefit of the bronze bushing anyway? My stock mounts still look fine, but I take it these have a history of bending and breaking? Thx!!

I believe this is how it goes. Someone correct me if wrong.

Widefoot sway bar mount + Tri Point sway bar + Tri Point poly bushing = OK
Widefoot sway bar mount + Tri Point sway bar + Widefoot bronze bushing = OK
Widefoot sway bar mount + Tri Point sway bar + Tri Point bronze bushing = Not OK

Bronze bushings eliminate the flex allowed by poly bushings.

Ok i'm a bit un-clear. I'm a visual person. But I got my Tri-point bar used... so this is what I have. Can anyone clarifiy exactly what I have and If I would benefit from the widefoot mounts?

So either i'm missing the mount entirely and a certain well known seller here on the forum failed to mention he wasn't including them (plus i'm an idiot for not realizing..) or these are aftermarket mounts? Seems like the wide-foot mounts set onto the bottom of the frame to form a solid mount straight down to the bar correct? So would I even need the extended mounts from the sub frame?

Check it out

You're definitely missing sway bar mounts, stock or otherwise.

^The stock mounts were wayyy to short..and I figured they were just replaced by the long extension from the engine sub-frame. Car felt good the 3 weeks it was running...

What you have there are the super primo rock hard zero flex bronze bushings and optional brace. But you still need the swaybar bracket. That which you are missing my friend.
60-1001 - 93'-95' Mazda RX-7 Tri-Point Engineering Front Modular Anti-Sw
Has some more info. And when in doubt call the manufacturer.
FWIW it probably only "feels" pretty good when you have been driving it because those braces are probably flexing like crazy.
