well i have a friend that goes to japan once every 3 months to buy front clips and other jdm parts, and he said he had a hard time finding mine but you just have to keep an eye out for em there hard to find. i believe whiteline sells aftermarket one but it has to come from an a31 cefiro with the rb20det, and not the sr20det one cause its the same as the oem 240 sway bar.

no problem cause i found out about this from mack mckinney and i couldnt find any info about this sway bar on nico so thats why i put it up for people that are just moddifying the rb26 pan and not using th rb25 oil pan. cause you just have to make small spacers for the rb25 oil pan.

Nice to know, thanks for sharing this info.

A little off topic, but.. My whiteline front bar is never going to clear my RB20/r32 xmember/nismo mounts, is it? I see the Syko kit uses some spacers to drop the bracket down -- I was planning to try something similar to retain the whiteline setup.

Anyone have any input on my combo?

I "had" a front white line with my A$* hat mounts and I used the spacers from my Syko kit, lol. But one reason why it was so messed up was my U brakets were bent and pushed my sway bar further back than it should.

I decieded to use the backets again on my new sway bar to clear anyways.

This is all on a RB20 S13 using Tophats and syko spacers

Sorry to bring back an old post, but I wanted to let everyone that has the RB2X/S13 or S14 front sway bar issue know that there is a Baltimore company that makes a custom front sway bar that clears many different engine sways, including the RB2X. Here is the link. http://www.sikky.com/view_item.php?id=134&catid=14
