Sway Bar Question

[scirocco-al@insight.rr.com (Alan Stamper)]

I had the hollow 25/28 bars on my car with 350F/450R springs on the car.
Really flat.  As far as the brackets go, there are a couple of options.
Autotech sells heavy duty versions that look like the factory ones, EM
motorsport sells billet parts (if they are still in business, I couldn't get
their website to come up) or you can take a factory set, drill the studs out
of the and then place a 1 3/4 muffler clamp over the top and through the
holes where the studs were and weld it together.  I did this to mine and
they never broke in my 10 years of auto-xing the car.
