So i had my swap stock rebuild rb20der done since September. Now i want to run a front sway bar for autocross but here is the problem I have a nismo powerbrace and part of the bar is where the sway bar would be.
Setup
-R32 Crossmember
-Hockey mounts switch from e30 mount( Too Soft) works better then the Nismo mount i had for ka
-Nismo Power Brace
-Battle Version Tension
-Silkroad RA8 Coilovers

Has anyone run into this problem. I really want to keep the brace but also have the sway bar. I put a front strut bar and it helped the front a lot but still need that sway bar.

unless the chassis is bent the swaybar should clear the power brace just fine...have yet to see one have interference.
now if the sway bar is hitting the oil pan then this is a known problem, a bolt on direct fit bar is the A31 sway bar but it is hard to find...suspension techniques bars seem to offer more clearance than std.

haven't tested this with power brace, but *should/may* work. have one on my car and looks like it would clear. that said is heavy as all s***.

they also have a S13 one.

Could you make shims to drop the sway bar down a bit?
