On a side note, I love how tire rack's vehicle selection has an option for S2000 SCCA STR class
lol I know right! I enjoy them they look good but sometimes they remind me of painted ap2 wheels tho.

May as well pick up a sway bar then while I'm in the spending mood. What to get? I've heard the saner one is good but doesn't seem to be made anymore.

Get the Gendron 1.25" hollow bar from smallfortuneracing if you can afford it. It is proven and works really well.

Here is what you all missed (except Ricardo) today:

Which thickness should we get the 1.25 hollow in .25 or .188 wall thickness? This is going to be one of the next upgrades I'm going to do but probably not till next season. You think it would be worth it to get the bb mounts? But I wonder if I should get their rear sway bar or the miata one hummmm adult decisions are hard lol.

But you might be able to answer this Noel. Can you do the Hood vent mod and be legal in STR?

No. The vent is illegal. .25" wall.

BB mounts are nice.

The mx5 rear bar is probably a better alternative unless you just want to burn money on the Gendron rear, but the front away and BB mounts are worth the money to me.

Ok thought so that's why I haven't done it yet. It's so tempting tho looks so good!! lol.

And thanks for the info. People always say get the bar but never what thickness to get it in. And should I plan on a wait time for it? Seems like a built to order type deal.

Just call. I got my front in about two weeks and rear in like three days. Just depends on his degree of inventory at the time. Bill Gendron is a good guy and has always answered all of my questions. He seems to prefer phone over email, but once an order is placed email seems to work fine to correspond. So call first for quickest info.
