I have it direct from Steeda themselves that the FRPP bar is totally the SAME bar as that Steeda bar, so hopefully it'll be fine. You nave a similar clearance between bar and watts frame? just a tad under 1/2" ?

Enough clearance to get a finger in there - whatever that is

When the suspension is unloaded,i.e. on a hoist, they actually touch.

Hmmm, I didn't actually try the car off load.
I was trying to imagine how a sway bar moves as the suspension operates and i can't envisage a scenario where the sway bar centre actually moves forward or back enough even taking into account the arc of movement the axle has in the up/down axis. Well, perhaps a little as the axle moves forward against the trailing arm bushings perhaps.

I'll make sure to not do any Dukes of Hazard jumps Colin
