You need to get a couple of shock clevises. Basically imagine a 4" strip of steel. Bend it into a U (but square the bottom of the U) and put a stud in the bottom of the U. I'll see if I can find a pic of mine.

Looks like overkill. I mean, it'll work fine, it just adds another bolt that could fail. I just got a stepped, aluminum spacer for $0.75.

The rear adj. swaybar and endlinks are from a company called Hellwig products. They're a sponsor over at www.frrax.com along with a dedicated forum thread. It's usually suited for those who're running track events (where it's allowed).

Thanks! I've been looking for one of them for my third gen.

BTW, that is one of the prototype rear swaybars that I tested for Hellwig. It fit perfectly, and really allows some nice adjustments for handling. It bolted in without any modifications, too.

FYI - this would be a great thing for a street/strip car. They offer this bar in a few different sizes. Those sizes, plus the adjustment holes, are the equivalent of everything from a 19mm bar all the way up past a 25mm bar. It would allow the adjustability of a premium drag race bar, but with street manners.
