I bought the Summit rear swaybar about a year ago, and it worked great... with the stock CAs.
Now with tubular CAs the swaybar doesnt mount the same way as with the stockers, it just has 4 bolts holding the bar to the tabs on the CAs... and I keep breaking bolts. Ive broken 3 bolts, sheared them right off..
So I guess its time once again to find a new bar.. anyone know of a good one for tubular CAs? I was looking at MM again, but it says that theirs is recommended for stock CAs too..

What size bolts are you running? Are you running grade 8 bolts? Is it possible to drill the bolt holes out to a next size bolt?

The last 2 that broke were grade 8 and the first one was the stock trash that came with the bar.
The problem is that they have to be so damn short of bolts since they will contact the frame or my tire if theyre too long, and there really isnt any more room to increase the diameter.
The way I see it is this
- swaybar mount points - round
- contral arm mounts - flat
So how long am I going to keep fighting this POS to get it to perform right? Even when the bolts dont snap and the bar beats the hell out of my car, I can tell that bar isnt getting the job done with these CAs.

Im going to try and sell this one to someone with stock CAs, because it worked fine with those, just putting a square peg through a circle hole with tubulars

Alright I looked around a bit, and it looks like the MM one will be fine, it welds to the frame, I dont know where I read it had to do with the CAs
