For 30 years, Racing Beat suspension components have proven themselves where it counts, on the track!. No other Miata aftermarket manufacturer can make this claim!
Racing Beat-designed sway bars reduce chassis roll in turns and increase your Miata's sensitivity to steering inputs, thereby improving maximum cornering power. Select steel alloys, and precise heat-treating processes are combined to produce these top performance components. All Racing Beat sway bars are finished with a distinctive, red powder coating which provides a smooth, glossy protective layer. You can be assured of many years of superior handling performance with these proven bars!
The diameter of the rear bar is 5/8-inches and weighs 3.5 lbs. This rear bar incorporates two attachment points to allow limited adjustment of oversteer/understeer handling characteristics. An additional feature of the rear bar is a pair of OEM style "stoppers" to prevent the bar from sliding sideways in the bar bushings during heavy cornering effort. Each bar is supplied with replacement urethane bushings, Prothane grease and installation instructions.

Note: While this rear bar can be fitted on any 1990-2003 application, it is not recommend the use of this bar on the 2001-03 models. Testing has shown that the 2001-03 Miata exhibits low-speed oversteer that can be corrected by the use of a larger front sway bar. For the 2001-03 application we recommend the 1.25” front tubular bar only. It has been found that the use of this larger front bar offers a more “balanced” handling characteristic.
Hey, want to really hook-up in the turns? Then combine these bars with R.B's Adjustable Sway Bar End Links to get the most out of your sway bars. These adjustable links are tight, and reduce the loose play associated with stock rubber bushings. Interested?.. Good!For more information, click here.
Racing Beat has some pretty cool bragging rights:
MotorTrend Magazine (June, 1993) all-time slalom record (73.6 MPH)
Sport Compact Car skidpad record (1.1g)
Not bad, eh?
Hey, just in case you're wondering, 1,1g's of lateral acceleration on a skidpad means your sideways weight in a turn is more than DOUBLE!
