FWIW, one end link of the front sway bar on my RX-8 broke off (common problem). Probably was that way for months. Never noticed a difference in daily driving, not even after it was fixed.

Great review, right up to the point where one of them said the FR-S is better than the S2000 and RX-8... and now I I consider their opinions worthless, lol.

Nah, seriously, nice honest comparison....
