> Hello all,--Did the BI originally come with a front sway bar as an

Yes, it did. A stock 9/16" bar from a later Sprite or Midget will bolt
right in. You may want to examine your A arms to see if they are drilled
for a sway bar- three holes in the front of the A arm. Some A arms are
reinforced in this area. If your A arms are not drilled, you can drill
them to accept sway bar mount. It may give you an opportunity to refresh
your front suspension if they are not reinforced.
Installation is pretty easy.
I believe there were 9/16",5/8" and 11/16" bars that were offered. A 3/4"
and 7/8" were aftermarket.
It depends on what kind of driving and feel you are seeking, what size bar
you need and whether you have a rear sway bar installed. There is a lot of
difference of opinion on this list as to what size bar is best.
A picture of this installation is on Phil Nase's site.
