If those were my shocks, I would just cut off the brake line adapter if clearance is an issue.

 

Well, after a weekend of fun and the s2k back on all fours, the sway bar mounts seem to have held up with no problems. Camera view during runs showed no visual deflection, and there is no contact with the steering boot even when using the longer original endlinks
fun stuff and it feels great! transitions are faster so i was able to tighten up rebound a click and gain some control.
I will get them cleaned up and rattle canned and i think i will be set.
if anybody wants a set, let me know

 

I might want one when I run out of other higher prority things to buy. I'm just waiting for your thread about your brake kit I'll be ready to send money for mine on April 13th.

 

Spent some more time looking into the inverted bar end approach. Here are some shots of the 36" long speedway bar initial test fitting.

The sharpie line represents material to be removed.


No bends in the arms just yet.


**And now a question for SFR bar users, do you experience any rubbing on the bar end at full lock?** I got the bar fairly centered (within ~1/8") and started looking at clearances with the tires/wheels. The 35" long bar still seems like it would be a bit too short. A 35.5" long bar would be perfect, from the looks of it, but that length is not offered.

Here's a shot of the contact just before full lock.

 

I'm pretty sure my bar rubs ever so slightly on the left side of the car at full lock. I hear it every once in a while in parking lots.

 

yeah mine hits the same as well

 

What mine looked like when using Gendron with non BB mounts. I am not sure it rubbed, but it was within 2 mm for sure (probably less). I later rerouted the reservoir hose and upgraded to the BB mounts, although the clearance is probably about the same now. I keep an eye on the inner tire wear and have not detected any rubbing so far. I believe the clearance increases the lower the car is sitting. Here it was under full droop.

 

Yep, I figured most Gendron bar users would be experiencing some amount of rubbing. Unfortunately, using the upper mounting location like Nick did, means the clearance doesn't increase as much compared to the lower mounting position. In your second picture, imagine having the bar mounted much closer the visible bolt that fastens the sway bar mounting bracket to the chassis. The height difference between my approach and the BB Gendron mounts is between 2" and 2.25". Thanks for the pics.

 

Pretty sure I don't rub with gendron with bearing mounts, although it's close. I have the J's ball joint as opposed to the SPC, maybe that makes the difference.

 

I have the SPCs, 1.375 bar, BB Mounts, and Ohlins TTX shocks. Just notice rubbing on the back of the shock yesterday. I talked with a few people about options and listed them below. Note, the links are not tightened down, I just put it together to get pictures. Suspension is at full droop and the car on jackstands without wheels/tires. They are slightly closer when everything is torqued to spec and when car is on the ground, suspension compressed, etc. My options are...

-Relocate the end link which will require hardware
-Remove the washers, bringing the bolt closer to the arm/linkage
-Bend the arm
-Milling down the outside of the arm
-Additional Options?
