FS: Racing Beat front sway bar
Selling a Racing Beat front sway bar with bushings, brackets and grease.
This sway bar makes a huge difference in handling, giving you better control and feel while cornering.
From Racing Beat:
Additional information:
Normal signs of wear from install/use. Connection holes *are not* drilled out, so they will still work with the stock end links. According to the previous owner, only about 5k miles on it. This was never on my vehicle (I already have RB sways on mine).
Prefer to not have to ship it, so local folks (or anyone willing to drive through here - DFW) will have priority.
Price: $140 + shipping Sold!

This sway bar makes a huge difference in handling, giving you better control and feel while cornering.
From Racing Beat:
Racing Beat-designed sway bars reduce chassis roll during cornering and increases your car’s sensitivity to steering inputs, thereby improving maximum cornering power. Substantial engineering effort, select steel alloys, and precise manufacturing processes are combined to produce top performance components. All Racing Beat sway bars are finished with a distinctive, red powder coating that provides a smooth, glossy protective layer. You can be assured of many years of superior handling performance with these proven bars!
The diameter of the RB front tubular bar is 1.25" (32mm) x .1875" wall thickness, as compared to the stock 1.05" (27mm) x .134" wall thickness front bar. An additional feature of the front bar is a pair of OEM style "stoppers" to prevent the bar from sliding sideways in the bar bushings during heavy cornering effort. Each bar is supplied with replacement urethane bushings, bar clamps, Prothane grease and installation instructions.
During test sessions using our Racelogic VBox GPS data acquisition system, we recorded noticeable handling improvements after the installation of the Racing Beat sway bar set. Using the stock wheel/tire/ combination on our 2004 RX-8, we recorded the following cornering forces:
Stock Bars: .86-.87g
RB Bars: .89-.90
