Sway bar fix for header interferance.

Just wanted to post that my local shop (Texas Track Works) has made some relocation brackets for my Vorshlag kitted LS1 swap and can have them made for others if needed.....pictures to follow hopefully tomorrow.

Find it interesting that Canbus turned out to be an easier nut to crack than swaybar install!

Yes any bar that will fit OEM application will work, just different end links.

Ground clearance un-effected, as you can see in the photo the OEM engine shield and the bracket well above it, a much beefier stiffer bracket I might add compared to the stamped steel unit,.........anybody needing this can contact Texas Track Works Fort Worth Texas......Mason or Forrest being the contacts, they assured me they will make this available for others wanting it.
