Default LPW Ultimate cover question

Does anyone run an LPW Ultimate cover on their 10-bolt? If so, were there any clearance issues with this cover?
I did search this, but didn't come up with anything.
Thanks in advance...

I don't think too many people here use the LPW cover. Midwest Chassis sells them, you should contact them. I'm sure they will help you out.

The only clearance problem you will have is if you run a thicker rear sway bar. I have a 1LE 24mm on the Z28 and it just barely hit the cover.

Actually, I run a 24mm rear bar and the LPW Ultimate cover and brace kit and it doesn't hit at all...

You will have no issues using the LPW Ultimate cover, just be sure to order the correct one...

The above guy must either have the wrong endlinks on the sway bar... With the right length end-links it does not hit... End-links are proper length when the body-mount and the sway bar itself are parallel to each other. Any angle between the two and you need different end-links.

You also have a third gen, question was in regards to a 4th gen... It does not hit on a 4th gen...

I have the BMR panhard bar kit that adds additional room for the exhaust in addition to the a Sphon panhard bar.

It looks as if it going to be very close with little clearance for the panhard bar and the LPW Ultimate minimum clearance cover and brace kit.

I can't measure it because the rearend is out of the car. I don't want to weld in the brace kit brackets only to find out I won't have enough clearance for the panhard bar.

Anybody have this setup? If so is there clearance for the bar?
