Anyone know which front sway bar has the most clearance AWAY from the engine?

Are you asking which sway bar has the most transmission clearance?

Example:

Nothing should be moving enough that it's an issue. If you're getting contact between the transmission and the swaybar you should start looking for blown mounts or bushings.

You know what they say about assume? Makes an ass of u and me. Pretty sure he is asking because he isnt rocking the FA20 anymore.

Yes, that is correct!

Yeah, sorry I didn't care enough to do a full background search. You're trying hard enough to make an ass of yourself with no help from me at all.

That's correct. I'm trying to get a little more clearance on my oil pan!

The ST front sway bar seems to have the most clearance but may not be wide enough...

Luckily wide isn't my biggest concern

I wonder if that's a generic photo or actual product photo. Either way, thanks and I'll look into it!

I probably laughed a little too hard at this but worth it.

Man, that's tight in there.
I'm just shooting the shit during my lunch hour.

Yeah, I would hope so too!

May just need to get someone to bend one up. Addco used to do that, and I'd bet Hotchkis would too, but they would need the car.

+1 for custom, you're in SoCal, lots of speed shops, I'd start calling the locals, CSG, Robispec, Ankeny, there's a slim chance Eibach (or Hotchkis) could accommodate and therefore have a V8 swap compatible bar in their back pocket.

What's Vorshlag's solution?
