Bending My Swaybar...

[ty@festf.org (Tyler P.)]

But does the better sway bar give you more clearance?  I'm pretty sure that
my motor mounts are all good, the sway bar fit in fine untill I put this big
fat header in my car :o)

Quick question here - are all you motor mounts good?

If not this could be part of the problem.

Easier to buy the better sway bar than trying to bend one
