I plan on getting more 21mm or 19mm sway bars from the junkyard. I want to have 5 or so committed buyers before I make the trip however. So if you are interested I'm looking for about $40 shipped. If you are interested but don't have the money at the moment, still post! I have no problem storing them for you, just long as you don't forget =D
Current interested buyers: (Don't worry, if we don't hit 5 soon I wont leave you hangin')

Don't forget the Escort/Tracer Wagons run a 21MM bar . Also the '96-'97 Escort/Tracers had the armrest console as an option for the first time , just happens to fit the ZX2.

Stiffens up the rear end. Since we're FWD we obviously don't have a rear axle. So adding the RSB causes it to flex less, allowing you to take turns easier at higher speeds. Stock size is 13mm. Stick a 21mm on there and you'll forget you're driving an escort ;)

trust me it works i just put my 21mm RSB in tonight with Prothane RSB bushings and ES endlinks. It handles so much better now.

Ok updated the first page. Heading out tomorrow to pull.
Zetecbeatsvtec8 - I can get you a rear disc setup, but it isn't cheap. From the yard all parts will be about $130. I can probably pull some things off that you will replace later and make it a little less. Those spindles are pretty heavy, I can't imagine the shipping. All said and done you may be looking at $170+ and you'll still need a caliper rebuild kit, break pads, and rotors at the least. Don't mean to discourage, just tryin to say ya some money.

Not only that, but most of the time the e-brake cables need replaced, and if you find one really bad off, the wheel bearings also, along with the caliper slide pins, and bushings. Not to forget the brake hardware kit, and for good measure, SS brake lines. They can get expensive quick if you dont know what your looking for at the J/Y

Check the brake install tutorial I know you can use some mazdas too
Edit ------
I'm going to wait on the sway bars until I get my ticket figured out. I go to court Wednesday, wish me luck =P

Finally found your post! Hope I'm not too late...I'll take a 19mm if you can find one for me. $40 or so shipped?! The money's ready when you are.

Here's a thread I started asking roughly the same question; a lot of good opinions there concerning 19mm vs. 21mm. Someone in that thread said "If you have to ask, get a 19mm." Anyway, as things go, it looks to be a pretty simple install...the only trouble might be getting the old one off, depending on how corroded your bolts are.
