Definitely interested. Are the bolts included? Or at least let me know what size bolts to get. Thanks man.

you can also use an A31 Cefiro rb20det front sway bar and it will clear all rb oil pans on a s chassis. thats what i used for my rb26 oil pan and it clears perfectly and also clears the nismo power brace.

Might lead to some premature bushing wear. Oh well thats life owning an RB in an S-chasis i guess.







Thats almost too much clearance lol.

If there's demand, and if i get approval, Ill sell these in fabricators market for a competitive price.

Hey trying to figure out what dimensions you used. Going to get a machine shop here to make me a set.

Hey man sounds good. I ordered a set from Daft Innovations, but don't think he's going to get them anytime soon. Let me see what he says in the next two days, if nothing i'm going to get a refund. Hey do you have a facebook. If so hit me up on there, my email is [email protected]. Send me another private message on here letting me know yours man.

just a thought, instead of spacing down the sway bar and making it less effective, you can get sway bars that will work. I have a sickey that clears a S14 with syko mounts and R32 x member by about 3 in forward. I have *heard* that others work also. made quite a noticeable difference going from those spacers and stock to the sickey one, everything i read on road racing forums suggests spacers are a bad thing for handling.
