Will the sway bar brackets from an S130 fit an S30? I'm missing ALL my brackets on our S30.
Thanks guys!

Re: S30 / S130 interchangeability
you're running stock bars? I'm pretty sure that the front bar mounts have larger hole spacing on the s130, and the rear mount is completly different unless you have the aftermarket mounts that mount behind theaxle in whihc case all bets are off
the easiest thing to so it to get generic urethane buchings and brackets for the front then make offset brackets that will bolt to the stock location as the standard brackets are too large to fir the s30 holes, and if you have the aftermrket rear risers then you can use the same trick at the rear

Ugh.
About 20% of that made sense to me... sorry Dave.
I'll go measure my bars. The rears mount to the plate that hangs down behind the axles.

sorry, I had foot surgery 2 days ago and I'm on pain pills 
the munting holes for the front s30 sway bars on the frame rails are closer together than most aftermarket sway bar mount holes, the larger aftermarket bars use a offset plate, basicall a 3/16 plate steel that has a set of holes to allow you to bolt the plates to the factory bolt holes in the rails, then an offset pair of holes to allow you to use standard aftermarket sway bar mounts backed with nuts to the inside of the rails
the rear mounted rear bar risers are an aftermarket piece and might have larger bolt spacing or might require a similar solution, the only factory s30 rear bars mounted forward and use a unique pocket/bushing combo

Hey Greg when I was rebuilding my sway bars I found this diagram out of the black dragon auto catalog quite helpful -
Also they carry the hardware your looking for.
