K Mac sway bars used to be Orange, I had a few on Holdens when I was younger and they did a good job,

The K-mac springs in my brothers mirage were a similar bright orange. Though it is possible to powdercoat any bars in any colour. How many adjustments and what size?

assuming this is for your NA6, the factory size was 19mm - the NA8 Clubman was 20mm & US aftermarket bars started at around 22mm. difficult to tell precisely from a photo, but it appears to be at the lower end of the range, indeed even close to factory.

all i've got is these photos,,... and no response to questions about its diameter , branding or condition...

apparently off a mx5 he wrecked in Japan, he has a stack of parts...stock body parts mostly...

i've sent a message literally every three days for over a fortnight with one response to the first saying hes back in town in two days (now, some time ago),,,still no response.

:evil:

Ah, off a Eunos Roadster out of Japan - that makes more sense - my understanding is that Eunos Roadsters are often found with red/ orange swaybars, but I don't know if this was a factory or aftermarket thing. Still reckon it looks stock or close to stock diameter. The red/ orange colour was also associated with MazdaSpeed, so may be it's off a Eunos Roadster MazdaSpeed variant.
