Are Aftermarket Sway Bars Worth It?

Our Miata still suffers from quite a bit of body roll, or leaning over in corners. When this happens, the cars’ weight transfers largely to the outside tires, and unloads from the inside tires, which means bad handling and poor grip! This week, Zach installs a set of thicc sway bars and new end-links in hopes to keep the car flatter in the corners and more responsive to steering input. Are they worth the install?

We have a new channel!

Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!

I’m enjoying Money Pit so much man. Zach just make’s it easier to understand as well and I love it! Definitely an inspiring dude :)

8:38 I love how you guys show the actual truths of modifying; smacking body parts, swearing, throwing tools about. *These* are the truths of modifying!

[BornofFire]

I love how Zach records the frustration and pain associated with working on a vehicle. It’s a realistic educational video. For that same reason, you have earned a like and serious respect from a fellow DIY mechanic.

They gotta start doing money pit twice a week I can’t wait that long

[P.r.i.m.o]

This entire video series is just Zach's master plan to get his dream miata lmao

[WSmith-neks]

Watching him struggle with "simple stuff" makes me feel better because i do the same thing with anything

[Kaohteeko]

I love how real this is. Instead of portraying a perfect installation, it’s representative of actually Joe working on their car.

Zach: *Throws tools out from under the car into the yard*

Future Zach: where’d my 10mm go 😱

[brandongil]

“One of the simplest mods!” Loses his shit twice! Lol

[JDMMasters]

Add fender bracers, you will feel the difference immediately.

1:38 that’s literally me everyday with scammers

Donut media really makes their fans happy by replying to fan comments and liking fan comments.

"Are big brake kits / upgraded pads and rotors worth it?"

Next on money pit?

[dylanscrivani]

I love how he's basically testing all of the mods that we typically want to try out on our own rides, and if they make a difference.

[amarisullivan]

The way he explained what sway bars were added to me as a person and made me subscribe

[Powatodacarz]

*annoying robo dialer* we've been trying to rea...
"F*** OFF!!"
Same bro, same.

[ateague]

1:37 That’s the same way I answer those calls 😂😂😂😂

Great for FWD cars. My Accord’s stock bar was like a coat hanger. Replaced with one from an Acura TL and it made a huge difference.
