Miata: Heavy Duty Sway Bar Mounts, Sway Bars, and End Links

On this episode of the Miata build we will be finishing up the front suspension rebuild.
We’re going to start with replacing the stock front sway bar mounts with some Heavy Duty mounts from AWR Racing. The front sway bar mounts are the weakest point on the front suspension on NA & NB models
They get stressed and fatigued over time from hard driving since a lot of force is transferred to the mounts during cornering. These will improve the performance of the sway bars and stiffen up the chassis a bit as well
I then painted my frame rails since everything was already apart and to add a layer of protection to the frame. I then installed the Racing Beat sway bar that was already on the car and added some adjustable front end links from 949 Racing.
I’m excited to get one step closer to having the car ready for the road.
The car should handle great once it's running again. Can’t wait to drive the car soon!
The install only required basic tools and some time. I hope this video gives you the confidence to do it yourself too!

good job - i'm jealous, your frame rails have zero rust.. while i was planning on installing these, i also has to weld some patches to have something better than swiss cheese to attach the AWR mounts to. One thing I didn't like though is that weird angle they put on the brackets.. can't stop but thinking their dimensions or bends are slightly off as they should theoritically be parallel and they're not, but making them parallel makes them too narrow for the frame... Can't wait to see the difference in cornering.

Sorry to hear about your frame. Yeah I’m not sure if they made the mounts at a wired angle for a reason. They sit nice a flush when they’re bolted down though. Seems odd though

@@wils_builds thanks, but i kinda knew it would be rusted it's the NB's achille's heel. I think I'm going to solve the fitment issues by cutting the outboard bracket and welding it directly to my patch panels. 4 out of 8 oem bolts broke off anyway (all the "outboard" ones) when I unbolted the oem supports, the inner holes are still there for locating the bracket. Also took me a bit to figure out which bracket goes to which side :) your video confirmed what I though would be correct.
