It's an FB, and yes that price is retarded.
But of course, first gens are getting harder to find, and everyone knows how much cooler they are than just about any other car on the planet ;-) LOL

Damn it Long!!!! I should have kept my mouth shut about that one!!!!!!! BUT, I'm glad that your going to get it. I also noticed something odd, but good in a way. It's a SA with FB mirrors. Personally, I think that's a better choice

A front sway bar is really not optional, it should always be there, it keeps your front wheels
both on the ground for better steering control. A sway bar just transfers load from one side to
the other. A rear bar can aggravate snap oversteer but is really nice for dodging cones on an
autocross or some mountains rodes. I keep both the stock bars on mine. Some remove or
never install the rear so that snap oversteer is slightly reduced. Not worth it my book. Good
tires will allow to control the oversteer better than anything.

The fact that sway bars reduce roll is just a side affect but its not the goal. The goal is to
keep equal forces on both tires in cornering loads so that maximum tire patch is kept on the
ground. The rear bar with a solid axle can lift the inner wheel on hard turns which cuts your
traction on the rear in half at just when you might need the most. So thats why some folks
remove them.
