Stock sway bar and sr oil pan :(

[ProjectGarage]

Im going to be getting a tomei oil pan soon for the sr, however the stock sway bar is already nearly touching the stock sr pan and it may even hit while driving and hitting bumps etc. ( i havent driven the car since its not running yet..)

A friend of mine whose car is at about the same height as mine has the Greddy oil pan on his sr and his stock sway bar hits the pan alot he said although his car is not daily driven this still bothers me. I dont want to have a nice pan get bashed up because of the sway bar. Is there a sway bar or custom end links for the stock sway bar that i could purcase to keep the bar further away from the pan? I will try to get some pictures up but im pretty sure you can visualize what im talking about.

I've got a stock bar and a Greddy oil pan and it's got room to move in between the two...but when I was researching which pan to get I had the same question about the Tomei and which bar to use.

Maybe my car is lower? Ill try to get a pic of it tomorrow but its literally like 1 finger away from hitting the stock pan.

how low is your car? if the car is really low, the FLCA can be pushing up the endlinks on the sway bars causing the bar to ofcourse fold in towards the pan.

Yes this is the exact thing that is happening. What do i do to fix it? All i have seen is some spacers that move the bar forward. If i could find shorter end links that might be awesome.

Gonna dent your oil pan and then eeeep

I never tried it but how about putting the end links on the other side of the FLCA, so the sway bar sits under the FLCA. But like i said, i never tried it first hand to see if clearance is an issue.

In having the same issue with my Isis sump pan did you guys find a solution other that shortening the en
d links?
