It hits!
I tried a BMW bar with some RacingBeat "CUSTOM"..yes Custom links but they are angled to the bar and control arm as the bar is 2 inches too narrow(one inch per side).
They sit sort of like this: /*****\
Anyone have any suggestion on what to use and still retain the stock mounting?
Thanks Gents,STYX.

*PS I may have gotten the wrong BMW bar so if anyone actually used a BMW front sway bar please post the specific model they used!..again Thanks!

 

Even a lonely MOD needs some Info Love!...

 

I can't say I have much to offer. Is there some swap or something to make a BMW sway bar fit on an FC?

I'm not sure how you can fix a bar that's too narrow.

 

You need Mazdatrix endlinks. They have heim joints on both ends.

 

I actually had Racing Beat make me custom links that have the Eyelet on one side and teh Heim joint on the other side.
I am just not sure if the angle is acceptable.Other than that it is a tight install.

 

You moved it forward and re-drilled your mounting hole right? I was talking to Matt Field at the last track day I was at and he said you could go with a shorter sway bar set up and make an adaptor for the end links. I'll ask him again the next time I see him or if I make it down to the Drift Cave

 

Thanks,I appreciate anything you can toss my way on this.

Still the fact remains that the bar is not wide enough.IF it was 2 inch wider it would be perfect.The drop is good and with the width at the center of the bar being 2 inches wider the stock mounts would also sit in perfectly.
It sits across the car,BUT where it starts to bend,that is just touching on the sway bar mounts at the frame..(real close BUT still it would work.)
Right Now when it leaves the mount under the frame and snakes it's way to the sway link that area it is not far enough Outwards so it is not allowing the link to sit straight up and down..hence the heim joints on one end.
