So that is the newest style/design bar that has these clearance issues?

Beau finally got back to me, he apparently had the flu.
He said he could extend the clevis so it's 4.6" to the canister from the clevis bolt centerline and maintain stroke while lessening droop by 50mm, which he thought was alright. But that's really not enough, bare minimum I need is about 5"....more like 5.5" to make me feel more comfortable.
I'm just gonna get the sway bar reworked I think.
Edit...actually it might just barely be enough measuring more closely...hmmm

I would rework the bar, 50mm less droop doesn't sound right. If its 50mm less than mine then I don't think that would be enough. It's early for me so maybe I didn't read it correctly.

Yes, that is correct. We did the suspension development for this vehicle, it's a great kit, really neat car.
