Flyin Miata sway bars SOLD
Also interested, depending on location.
I just checked FM's site and they make you select either 90-93 or 94-97 for your choice of sway bars. Does one not fit on the other? Otherwise, why the distinction?

Geometry. The 1.8 engine is longer, so the front bar on those car is mounted further forward. The arms are longer, so the bar has to be thicker in order to give the same amount of roll stiffness. Most people (along with online suspension calculators) have a tendency to ignore this, but you do need different bars for the 1990-93.

I learned this the hard way with some used unknown bars.
