For what type of engine and what year Miata?

If you're talking the extentions that move the bar down on a Ford conversion they are about 6" or so. Measure and see how far down you need to go to clear the balancer. I think there is a FM custom sway that works with the LSx.

Keep in mind that if you are talkign about extending the arms of a sway bar it will effectivly weaken it (more leverage working against it).

Here's a not-so-clear picture of the extentions:



They are only tall enough to locate the sway below the harmonic balance (about 5 inches or so). Since you're building your own I'd just measure the distance you need and go from there.

They are also a little offset to the rear to make up for the increased angle of the sway bar ends. If you are going to use some type of shortened custom sway bar end link this would not be so needed.
