My .02 here. I had the rear FM sway rip the link right out and knowing what
I do now I suspect I got one of the bad batch that seems to have been
released. See M.net for photos. I haven't had any issues with the front bar
and the reports out there all seem to concern the RB bar. Like Larry I'm
going back to the OEM rear bar. This on an 01. Mark

By the way...I hope I didn't offend anyone.  The truth is, 01+ cars have
different sway mounts than all of the earlier cars, so I am specifically
concerned about whether or not the FM bar broke anyone's mounts.

No signature...the choice of a New Generation

Hey all,

I'm on the fence about upgrading the front sway on The Tick and had given
the FM Sway a thought largely because I don't feel like shelling out $300
for all the extra bracing to add an RB tubular bar (that I may not even
like).  For those driving an 01+ car, what are your impressions?  Any
issues?

-Bryan

ps - Yes, this is a totally different animal for 00 and earlier cars, so I'm
not really interested in hearing about those experiences (especially since I
had a set of front and rear on my 97).
