Sway Bar Brace Kit

Miatas have been known to have broken sway bar chassis mounts after repeated hard driving using upgraded sway bars. (RED arrow in the below photo is pointing to the chassis mount.) Quite simply, the factory mount was not designed for the demanding loads that are being exerted during repeated hard corning that occurs during spirited street driving.

Racing Beat designing a brace that would: 1) Tie both left and right sway bar chassis mounts together, and 2) add additional support to the sway bar chassis mount. Using the mounting bolts and retaining nuts supplied in the kit, a support bar is placed into position and tightened against the frame rail. (The support bar is indicated by the BLUE arrow in the below photo.) At the same time as the retaining nuts are being tightened against the support block, the sway bar mounting bolt is actually being forced outward against the sway bar chassis mount. This support provides a very simple and extremely effective way to load the mount and eliminate potential cracking and minimize movement.

 


1990-05 Sway Bar Brace Kit
(Except 90-95 w/power steering)


Developed to stiffen any Miata chassis, this assembly proves most beneficial when using any relatively strong aftermarket sway bar, including Racing Beat’s tubular bar. This kit both effectively minimizes chassis flex that reduces sway bar performance and eliminates possible cracking of the sway bar chassis mounts that results from repeated hard cornering.

Manufactured from hollow-core 1019 steel and utilizing laser-cut end flanges, this brace is finished with a rust-proof powdercoat finish. Installation is accomplished by simply removing the sway bar mounting bolts and inserting the brace and support bar. Step-by-step instructions with fully detailed photos are included for easy installation.

1990-05 Sway Bar Brace Kit with power steering


Developed to stiffen any Miata chassis, this assembly proves most beneficial when using any relatively strong aftermarket sway bar, including Racing Beat’s tubular bar. This kit both effectively minimizes chassis flex that reduces sway bar performance and eliminates possible cracking of the sway bar chassis mounts that results from repeated hard cornering.

NOTE: This brace kit will fit all Miatas, but is intended primarily for 90-95 Miatas equipped with POWER STEERING. The routing of the power steering lines required that we modify the brace support bar to provide adequate clearance for these lines on this application.

90-05 Sway Bar Brace Hardware Kit Only
(all years except 90-95 w/power steering)


In various racing classes (Autocross - Stock and C-Street Prepared) the use of the actual sway bar brace component is not allowed. However, the use of the hardware components that add bracing to the stock sway bar mounts are allowed. (We suggest you refer to your specific class regulations for current rules.)

For 1990-04 Miata’s (except 90-95 w/power steering) we offer the aluminum supporting blocks and mounting bolts that are acceptable for racing use. These components offer critical reinforcement to the stock sway bar mounts.
