Hello,

I have a brand new QA1 front sway bar and found that it's 100% directly going to interfere with any supercharger cog that I plan on adding to my combo. I'm sure I can't be the only one to run into this issue, so looking for suggestions on how to tackle this problem.

Now I could simply take it off again, but I'd like to retain this thing if possible since I spent good money on it and would like the car to at least somewhat behave in turns. That being said, I believe if I shorten my end links by 2" this would place the bar under the idler arm, but would likely also require lowering the frame mounts by 2" (and possibly relocating inbound as well). I see that the offroad guys have 'drop mounts' for raised suspension setups, but I didn't know if there were suggestions for something similar in this case. Any aftermarket sway bar mounts for something like this? Any other suggestions to retain the front bar?

Thanks,

Make spacers (aluminum, steel) to shim the frame mounts lower whatever thickness you need to gain, with longer bolts. That's how I'd get around the problem if I'm understanding correctly, the bar is too close to the lower pulley area, and needs dropped lower.

If it has to be dropped a substantial amount shorten the links the same amount as the spacer thickness.

If you need to relocate it forward then a link location would need to be fabricated on the lower control arms making the link mounting position further forward on the control arm.

If that's not the case pictures would be helpful.

Yep, sounds like we're pretty much on the same page as that's the idea I had as well. I was hoping someone had a fairly turn key solution for this as my fabricating skills are not the best. Any chance someone would already make a two inch drop mount that could utilize the factory bolts already in the frame?

I would hope someone has already been down this road before.

Thanks!

Something like these?

[transam_101]

Yep, that would be about what I'm thinking. Your pair appears to be around 3/16" thick, where as I would be looking for something around the 2" thick mark.

Thx!
