I ordered a torsion bar with splined ends. I went off of Nasa's rules in case i want to race with them. Then had to modify one side to accommodate the splines being off.
But was able to preload it if i need to instead of adjusting the tie rod ends. It worked out really nice.
On the front i took a 30mm stock sway bar and cut the ends and fabbed up 1/2 flat plate with a 30° angle to clear the tires at full turn. But it shortened the arm so the bar might be stiffer.

I started on the front with the K Member and suspension which helped with the new radiator mount. Sway bar and rotor cooling were easy to get figured out.

ah ok. I thought the hose was under the frame rail where the bar mounts. Have you put a wheel on it yet to make sure that its not going to rub that hose? I thought the wheels got pretty close to the side at full crank. You can always put steering rack limiters in if its an issue but I am sure you know that.
