SOLD, SOLD, SOLD! thanks Prod Board!
Bought these for my Spec Miata, then thought I would install on the FP Miata but never did. Seem like they would be handy for rain days if you wanted to pull the pin out and easily disconnect the sway bar. Also easier when going on the scales and to check to see if there is any pre-load on the sway bars.
MiataCage sells them: http://miatacage.com/adjustable-drop-links
From MiataCage's web site:
Adjustable drop links for the 1990-2005 Mazda Miata. Made from Aluminum and anodized in Red. This kit is complete with 4 adjustable drop links.
We supply the kit with clevis pins and cotter pins for the upper portion (or nuts and bolts if you prefer) of the drop link that attaches to the sway bar instead of nuts and bolts, so that you can make changes to the sway bar during qualifying without needing to unbolt the drop links. It also makes setup nice and easy because you don't need wrenches, simply remove the cotter pin, change the setting and replace. The front drop links get spacers so that there is zero bind in the drop link in any of the 3 (1.6L) settings. By spacing the drop link out, it lives in a more vertical position so that the rod ends can freely move around and not be bound up. These drop links work with both the new (single shear) and the old (double shear) style lower control arms.
You should have no bind in the sway bar links at all when installed. Other drop links on the market are too long, and only right hand thread rod ends and no spacers so they have bind when the sway bar is in the full stiff position. These also work with the new 99 shock hats on the early cars.
Drop links come with the following pieces fully assembled:
Spacers (2)
Left (4) and Right (4) hand thread heim rod ends.
Clevis Pins (6) (There are only 4 in my kit - BL)
Cotter Pins (4)
3/8 Bolts and Nylock Nuts (4)
Threaded Left and Right hex aluminum anodized body (4).
$125 - free shipping ($175 new + shipping)
picture below is both sides of the bag - there is only 1 bag of parts
