      Yeah I will get a pic up later today. I had to rotate the flange just so it would fit. Probably will cut it down later this week.

        It doesn't look like it affects ground clearance @ all. Looks like that and the sway bar hang about the same. And it looks like it tucks very nicely!

          Got my bar and did a test fit this weekend. Some pics and notes below.
          Fits nice and snug on my MX-3.
          Does not fit my 4WD protege. (bar would need to be ~1 3/4 inches longer to mount bolt hole to bolt hole of the control arms)

          car was set down completely on the ground

          passenger side jacked up.

            Are you going to pull it back off to prime and paint it so it doesn't turn from a front tie bar to a front rust bar?

                  Doesn't the MX3 have a tie plate? Either way the market expands, at least I hope so.
                  The v6 gs's have a lower rear tie bar. So this should be a real nice upgrade for him.

                      You can see how it just barely touches. Only main problem I have is that it vibrates making it kinda loud at high rpms. But that should be fixed later this week when I grind it down.

                            I hope mine aren't that hard. But they shouldn't be, as my car has no rust at all and had an oil leak that blew back onto the LCA bolt.. lol
