Autoparts stores push Bosch big time (contracts), don't fall for it...
Get the NGK's or Denso's... Platinums are fine (they came stock), coppers are good too but need to be changed more frequently, iridiums are overpriced and can act as a glowplug under certain conditions.
You shouldn't...
Not sure why it matters as size of the swaybar doesn't really tell you much...

-consumes epic amounts of oil
-HORRIBLE gas milage
-Mazda USA specifies the wrong oil so it can meet EPA regulations (spec is different everywhere else in the world)
Overall it's NOT worth is as once the warranty runs out you have to handle it all. Rotaries are very simple and easy to work...
I've been thinking of ways to get the fan set back a bit, wouldn't be too hard to mount it on the clutch differently if you machined some stuff... I'd have to look though...

Damn I need a job....
200+ HP engine moving fan or a small motor?

They're not an upgrade in any way, shape, or form and the only advantage is if the car isn't moving...
HID's in DOT housings = OMGWTFBBQ glare monsters from hell
HID's in E-Code housings = less glare than a halogen DOT light
Cheap chinese HID's WILL drive you nuts as their quality just isn't there...
You're burnishing the threads, that's why if they're used they're already broken in and will torque fine. I'm sure this accounts for MOST of the cases of the studs loosening up and needing a retorque.
I wasn't able to do quite finger tight in my block (that and my hands where tired as hell...
Painted mild steel, so it will eventually rust (worse if you scrape).
For the price, it's great as it looks stock, flow a bit better than stock IIRC, and looks stock. Did I mention it looks stock?
