I just purchased a used SPF MKIII and I have some questions for the veterans of this forum:

1) The previous owner made a note that it had upgraded "Carrara Sway Bars ans suspension". I attached a picture below of the sway bars hoping someone could tell me about these. I noticed they have plastic like bushings with what looks like a grease fitting (that has been broken off 3 out of four bushings).

Even though they are "upgrades", do you think it is worth $800 to upgrade the sway bars from Cobra Valley? Or maybe just replace the bushings and add the stepped mounting plate (to get rid of unwanted sway bar vertical movement)? I really don't see how these are upgraded in any way from the stock look sway bars. There is no adjustability. Maybe stiffer/stronger???

2) You can also see in the background some fluid on the floor. It is coming form the transmission. Probably need to replace the gasket?
