Rob did a group buy for the QLD club members. I believe he had a couple extra unless they have been claimed. Send him a PM. Forum name is Rob.

Edit: I texted Rob and he replied saying all sets were claimed.

Matt, if your car has non-stock suspension be sure to read MuMan's post on page 2 about 'the angle of the dangle'

Yea I saw that post, my car has the original suspension on it so it wasn't that much of an issue. It's been fixed today I'll post some more pics in my thread but god damn the mount was just hanging there and a chasm where metal should be. My legendary mechanic mate welded up some very thick steel and remade the missing metal then welded some more reinforcement plates over the top so its much stronger now, will also be stronger than just having a reinforcement plate going to another bolt.

Very happy with the result:

Maybe we could arrange another group buy for some twosrus parts if there are a few people wanting to order parts from them.
I need to get a set of the reinforcement plates for mine so I can upgrade my sway bars.

Yea I may get some legitimate ones but it's pink slip week and needs something done rather quickly. Reinforcing plates will be identical to the "proper" ones. Mechanic just cuts the steel to size and makes sure its appropriate thickness. It'll last till I decide on an order from Two's R Us or something.

Sway bar reenforcement plates are available through the major Toyota mr2 suppliers in the USA. Just add freight :( expensive freight (for the size of the item) approx $55 USD for the plates and $60 for freight.
No point for a home made reenforcement plate if it's just bent metal that bends under pressure.

So this is something I wish I knew about earlier. Tonight on my way to the Newcastle meet my drivers side sway bar mount ripped from the chassis :/ DeltaV don't appear to have anymore in stock. Fortunately I have a great mechanic mate who will weld it back together and make some reinforcing plates up for me this week.

First time ever I think I knew something about an MR2 that someone else (who has one) didn't know. " />

Hey Trav, I was reminded about this when I was looking under my car while it was on this hoist at MRC today. Luckily my front swaybar mounts don't appear to have significant cracking yet, so I should order the reo plates to prevent it in the future.
If you have them in stock (?) I might order them now.

The mounting hardware comes with the plates.
