This is exciting stuff for me to read as I have only just begun my Fiesta journey. I now have one event in my fiesta in completely stock trim. Actually did quite well. I want to stay in the stock class, so adding this rear bar isn't allowed. But am thinking of getting the front bar. Just scared it might add to understeer.

nope. I never did the front bar.

You'll find most things that fit a mazda 2 will fit these... because under the body they are nearly the same car. They both use the same ford platform. The fiestas built in Thailand in particular roll off the same line as the mazdas and even little things like the PCD of the wheels is the same.

by the way if anyone installs the front bar let me know if it fits, because I'm looking at buying one!

It's my understanding for the U.S. cars (made in Mexico) they are quite different. Our fiesta uses a 4x108 bolt pattern while Mazda uses 4x100. Also this...

They're saying they only share four parts, not sure about that...
