new sway bar for the mx-3!!!
I talked to the people over at zxtuner today about the swaybar... apparently the fittment is related to the bushings..... they are sending me a bar with a different set of bushings, that I am going to enlarge the diameter of to match the swaybar..... hopefully this will solve the problem...

Rob, I know myself a number of others would be quite interested in your progress and findings. A few pics if possible as to how the process went would also be good for us as well as anyone elses future endeavours. My new ZX bar is still in it's shipping box, un-opened until something gets resolved with this.

I will get to this ASAP.... but I need to finish a motor swap first.... it should be done just after x-mas.... I will bore the bushings at work as soon as they come in....

sounds like a crock to me.
get on them if they continue this "pushing you back" BS. Sounds like they dont' want to solve the problem, they just want you to forget and get off their case.

I was following this bar for awhile, gave up, ordered a whiteline bar, shipped on the slow boat from Australia, and it got here today. These ZXtuner guys seem pretty slow and no one who got the bar seems to have installed it.
