Question Mazda's Stabilizer Bars Q

OK so I was on www.mazdausa.com and they have 2 typs of stabilizer bars for the front and back $310 and $285.
Then they have MS stabilizer's for $275 and $165.
My question is whats better for performance?

My 2nd question is the MS set of sports springs that put the drop to 20mm. are for $305. who has them and are they worth it?

My last one. The MS front is $1,530. back $875. and sides$875. Know where I can find then cheaper?

Thanks for the help

So there I was, in the middle of listening to Joe Bonamassa just tearing it up on guitar. It is an audience taped show, so the levels are a little low and I had the volume up a bit. I clicked on the above link and was greeted by some woman's voice telling me about all of their great stuff. No way to turn it off either. I found that a bit rude. I hope that their prices make up for it.

1. Google.

2. I think u're talking about diff "bars", struct and stabilizer are diff. from what I see all you said was "stabilizer"

3. MS sets are worth it, but only if u're really going to hmm .... go faster than "normal"

5. MS stuff always "cost" more, find some replica one, its probably 1/2 way cheaper, but will it "perfectly" fit is another question.

Only get MS Springs if you get MS shocks with them. Spring rates are specifically made to run with stiffer shocks. if you put them on with the stock shocks your ride will be crappy.

Try to dig into sway bars in the Suspension forum. There are a few aftermarket sway bar makers. Racing Beat, Whiteline etc. They are usually cheaper than the MazdaSpeed stuff. Can't tell you which is better. Others are better suited to tell you that but it is related to what you are looking for.

Yeah, it's pretty irritating. I just blocked that host using adblocker, so the woman doesn't even load... I can surf the site in peace now

( or has something new to tell you) and yes theire is a Volume ,Stop and play button on the bottem of her window. Just look for it.. Not Rude at all, infact she helps inform those of you that just refuse to READ!! .

ok, so it's unblocked, but maybe she can play on request? instead of autoplay? i often come into the site and am startled with her voice--because my speaker volume was left loud or somethign.

it takes more time to listen to her than it is to scan a brief list of specials... IMO. gimmicky, but such is life.

Thanks for the info. I looked for a volume control but didn't see one. However I was scrambling for my volume show since I had it up pretty loud.

Anyway, I won't be a whiney baby anymore.
