Thanks I think. haha

I'm waiting for a few parts to trickle in so I tackled the rear sway bar. I started out with a generic Hellwig kit and figured out it wasn't going to work of course. The fuel lines are right in the way and honestly routed the best way. I decided to design some brackets where I could sandwich the frame and use a tab for the end link. I designed them with a tab thinking it would be OK. After I got them home and started playing around I realized the bar angle was going to be to much. So I cut off the tabs and decided to use the center hole. I used two shoulder bolts on each side to keep from crunching the frame. The end links are aftermarket C5 adjustable end links. I'm excited to loosen the rear of the car up and have some adjustment. I really think it's going to be a huge plus on some of the slower autocross corners. I can't say I felt it needed it on the road course but time will tell as I get faster. I also am going to try a .25 wheel spacer shown. The other side has a worse rub than this side as you can see at the top of the wheel well and lower bar. With the low ride heights and racing I feel the wheel needs to be cheated to the outside vs. inside. Hopefully this .25 extra will get me just enough.
