Only one minor issue with that design. It is not legal for stock class autox competition because SCCA rules specifically state that the sway bar mounts cannot be tied together. The rules allow aftermarket sway bar mounts, but they cannot be attached to eachother. Anyone not autoxing in an SCCA stock class won't care and would be very happy with mounts such as the RE Amemiya ones I am sure

The bar's not that expensive (compared to say, other RE parts haha), and compared to the Widefoot upgraded mounts ($150 - $180 w/ the group buy). The RE bar's a lil over $200, but add onto it taxes, shipping, Customs fee (which, according to RE is 30% ), etc you're looking at about $375 realistically to have it in your hands when all's said and done lol. Sheesh.
Yep. The design is very efficient from a structural standpoint as the added tube between the mounts keeps them from twisting or rocking where they attach to the chassis (which is the big problem with the stock Mazda mounts).

Suspension Setup
Obviously there is some good discussion's as far as what to do. I'd like to get the Tripoint Swaybar. Question. Can you use the stock mounts?if no, I'd like to see how Damon has setup his so I can mirror his. I'd like to get rid of some of the roll without sacrificing the independent suspension. I have some pretty strong springs. I have the Tein HT with 20/1119
RS200-A1150 1119lb/in spring rate.
Thanks

Tripoint with std bushings use stock mounts, but stock mounts should be upgraded with widefoot, prior blue ones, RB plate, or other methods.
Tripoint Front with 1/4" or 3/16" thk tubing, and RB rear bar. With 20kg springs, I'd stay with std front bushings.
old, but still has some TP data:

20kg springs?
I sincerely doubt you need any more anti-roll built into the front end, unless you are just looking to tame that seriously wicked oversteer you're going to have.

Front Swaybar
I'm actually not to worried about the front sway bar. I really feel the roll in the rear. I still feel it in the front. That's why I want to make sure that I have the adjustability.
Thanks for the info.
