Flying Miata Swaybar Question

I've run across a Flyin Miata swaybar set 8203 (99-05). The owner is willing to trade for stuff I have that I don't need.
I have an NA, specifically a 1990. Should I consider these for my car and what modifications do I need to make?

Thanks!!

I like your avatar, it looks remarkably like the logo for Solomiata with a rollbar added :)

I wouldn't recommend it. The arms are longer on the 1.8 bars so they won't line up with your sway bar mounting points. You could move the sway bar mounts on your car's chassis if you really wanted to use them.

I THINK - I'm not 100% sure I remember this right - that there's also an angle difference on the ends of the bars between an NA and an NB. In which case adjustable end links will be required.

Do it if you don't need the stuff you're trading, then either make them work, or sell them if you can't.

I would say do it. Just change the mounting points and you have better swaybars on your car. If it's too difficult, try to trade those for a regular set of bigger swaybars.

I should note that my comments about arm length were for the front bar. For the rear, it'll bolt in and you may only have to deal with a variation in angle.

I ran a stock 1.6 front sway bar on my '95 R-package. Turned it into a really fun, tail happy car. Used stock endlinks.... and kind of like what Keith was alluding to, it was a TOTAL pain in the ass to install. The racing beat sway bar I got traded to the guy I got the 1.6 bar off of, on the other hand, was a simple quick install.

I would do it. I HAVE done it. Get some good adjustable links to make up for the length and especially the angle differences. DO NOT use the links with aluminum ends. They pull apart at the worst possible time.

Good eye Keith, I ripped off their logo and used MS Paint to install a rollbar to match my car! I think I'll take your advise, I can sell what I planned to trade and buy NA anti sway bars directly from you and not have to do any modifications. Thanks all for the input!
