Rear Lower Tie Bar

Post by Jovian2k »

I have a 93 RS, so naturally I do not have a rear lower tie bar. I would like to get one and have two options:

Stock GS http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA-MX ... dZViewItem

or SRD http://www.srdperformance.com/

The one on ebay is considerably cheaper, anyone replaced the stock one with an SRD? any difference? I'm sure the stock GS is better than nothing either way...

Just go with the GS bar.

Hit up a junk yard and pay like 5.00 for a GS one and save yourself a lot of money. Get some new bushings though if your going to be under there anyways. XD

I have been making tie bars for the BG chassis for a few years now.

I am working on the front tie bar for the MX3, strut bars, rear control arms and a few other goodies. All but the rear strut bar should fit the MX3 (unless it's the same as the Protege, but i don't think so)

I haven't been able to find a place to help me make sway bars, but the Protege and MX3 sways are very different.

I still have 4 GS rear tie bars in the big pile of stuff that has been in my garage for forever. $15 + shipping. I would like to start getting rid of this stuff so if anyone is still looking for anything on this list please PM me or respond in that thread.

Jeff asked me if I was still doing this a few months back because the post had become burried. I WILL get rid of these parts in the next few months. If nobody here wants to buy them I am going to start posting it up on Ebay and jacking the prices up. They are taking up too much room in the garage and I am ready to be through with it. I would rather help out you guys, and mx-3.com, if at all possible. So take a look if you are interested.

Jeff, I haven't forgotten about you. We will settle up in the next few months.
