Finally found a new 1.6 donor. I transferred in the new motor. Called Mazdamotorsports to get all part numbers for the new spec miata Penske setup for the new car. I found out from Dan that the swaybar kit has been on backorder since August of last year. Eibach may not ever produce the kit again since it only fits 90-93. Does that effectively end the 1.6? Will CRB come up with alternate part numbers? Anyone have any insight on the situation?

Only the front swaybar is different.  Eibach makes the same swaybars front and rear sold separately through general distribution, so the 24mm 1.6 front bar might be available through another seller.  Same for the rear bar.  A little digging online might yield individual bar part numbers and a supplier. Also, someone among this community is likely to have a bar they'd sell.
