Speaking of swaps, I love Forza Motorsport. I threw an LS1 into the AE86. Also put the Mazda 787B R26B into a gen one Miata.

You know that moment when you catch a small detail and say "Dammit!"? Well when looking up Sway Bar's I just did Sway Bar Kit.
The one I found talked about both the Front and Rear and did not mention it was just for the Rear but if you double check the title it does say Rear Sway Bar Kit.... why the hell it talks about the Front Sway Bar as if its in the kit is beyond me but they got me. Now I have to go buy the front one, anyone used the GodSpeed one? Its cheaper and seems to be of similar construction. They sell one for 125 shipped or two for 230 shipped.
I will probably keep this rear as its adjustable which I wanted but for the front I am not as concerned about it being adjustable.

Thanks.

If you ever take a road trip in your FRS you will wish it(the front) was adjustable.. I have the big Hotchkis sway bar and when its set all the way to STIFF!,which is great for track, its a beast to get it down the road...

Had to go up to Flagstaff for work. My skid plate has currently not been on the car for the past few weeks since I'm taking my header off soon to be coated.

Apparently the composite (cardboard weird material) cover that sits further back under the front suspension relies partially on the metal skid plate to hold it on the car. On my way back from Flag yesterday I hear a sudden dragging noise and the car starts to feel kind of sluggish. I pull over and look under to find that the cover has ripped off of its front bolts and was now dragging on the road. Since I had no wrench I had no choice but to continue driving. Eventually the cover ground to pieces and fell off so I thought that was the end of it. Today I realize these nice parting gifts it seems to have left on my rear bumper.

Even though it was soft and flimsy enough to tear off of its bolts it was apparently still strong enough to scratch the plastic bumper.

The lesson I learned: never leave your tools at home.

Do you guys think it's worth it to get another under cover? It was so flimsy I feel that anything on the road dangerous enough to threaten the integrity of the front suspension is probably also strong enough to tear through the cover like cheese. Do you think it makes a huge difference in aerodynamics?

From the picture that looks like it will buff out pretty easily.

Ouch, I wish you had said something, because that's exactly what happened to my first undertray too (luckily I did have my tools with me so it went in the trunk). I would advise you to check out the underside of the car ASAP. That fiberglass tray plays a role in holding up the long plastic piece that runs down the driver's side of the car, so you could lose that too without it. That's right, it's undertrays all they way down. =)

As for aero, because those trays are interlocking, it's all or nothing, and all is definitely better.
