no it was the stock sway bar (front). i think he autocrossed it 3 or 4
times on street tires. not a big deal- 10 minute welding job to fix i
imagine. when i put sway bars on my car, i probably way over-engineered the
mounts.
ive heard that the parking brake can fail to work with high temp range
pads... not enough cold temp friction!
