One of the members here asked me about the 25mm adjustable rear sway bar kits to go with his new watts link (where he's going to lower the roll center). I spoke to David at Hellwig at one point and he advised me that if we had enough orders, they could do a run of them. At the time, I think we were talking about doing 10 bars. However, we may be able to get it done with a few less (I never got a hard number). The point of all this is, if we can get enough interest, I'll gladly put an order together for a group buy for the 25mm bars.

So, how many people would be interested in the 25mm adjustable rear sway bar kit from Hellwig?

Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Last night I discovered/remembered that my LCAs are set about 4.5mm longer than stock. I slapped the Hellwig bar back on to see if that would be enough to make a difference. I also lowered the swaybar mount a little more: Fays2 supplied a 1/2" spacer for use with the stock mounting bracket, and I made 5/8" spacers for use with the Hellwig bracket, which inherently positions the bar about 1/6"~1/8" lower than the stock bracket. I didn't actually shorten the LCAs; I just wanted to find out if it would be worth doing.

With the LCAs at stock length, that might be enough to make the bar brush the bellcrank assembly (specifically, the bolts) instead of hitting it, but that's still not adequate operating clearance. The bolts for the link rod ends are already exact length, and use thin nuts (since they are mounted in double shear), so there's no help there.
