Brake Coolers!

Brake Coolers!
Got my brake coolers installed! The backing plate was cut to fit from a 79, and the current car is an 82. Now, are the sway bars in the front different from the SA and FB? My brake coolers mount, but when I turn they will hit the sway bar. Either the Sway bar or the coolers have to go, but I dont want to lose either!
Any help? Pics of SA strut bars or modification help? Thanks guys!

An aftermarket bar will still sit in the same position, youll have to modify the coolers to work around the bar. If you toss the bar your handling will go down the crapper.

theyre right. i REALLY dont suggest even driving the car without a front sway bar.
your best bet, get the coolers made so the tube is on the backside instead of the front. an aftermarket sway bar will be in teh same position as the stock one, except theyre bigger.

You know... we had them mounted with 1" bump steer spacer blocks and a ground control coilover kit originally and cleared fine... you think maybe the reason it isn't clearing is about 1"?

The bump steer blocks move the suspension arms down 1" from normal... they go right under the mounting position of the spindel. It is normally used for cars with a 1" drop to keep the suspension geometry the same. Respeed sells some pretty cheap.
