Guys with the Steeda bar do you have 3 or 4 adjustment holes?
There was a change made in the design awhile ago.

3 hole version is on the bottom.

I've got the 3 hole, which may explain why mine wasn't close to rubbing.

Your strut housing is also different most likely the first batch of the coils when they were made.

That's new, experimental piece from Ridetech. Still had good clearance with the old brackets.

Whoa not a chance in hell I would be driving my mustang in that, but I guess in the south we get a solid layer of ice on the road before snow begins to accumulate.

Damn all that money and they can't do zinc played bolts.

I seem to have plenty of room.

Yes this is a flaw in the design if running aftermarket sways. But these are truly great coilovers and the valving on the fox shocks are awsome when matched with the correct spring rate.

I have to disagree with this post. How is Ridetech already said they build these for OEM parts. Why is it not Eibachs fault for testing the Ridetechs coil overs before releasing the bar to the market. And why did Werty not call complain that Eibachs bar is not designed properly? Because it worked with the OEM Struts and Dampers. This is unexpected but by no means is it Ridetechs fault. Thank God for BMR always coming up with quality and new parts like the 38mm sway bar. Why does every damn company our there copy BMRs stuff? :lol: Because they get it and make it. I remember Kelly taking offense to me posting my Hotchkiss bar is the biggest on the market. So what does he do?? He makes a bigger bar. :lol: Kelly put me on that list for preorders. I want the new bar.

I had a very similar problem as the OP with my JRZ RS Pro coilovers. The endlink was rubbing against the bottom of the shock. I have the BMR adjustable endlinks so I flipped one side so the bolts both face the same way. I put the endlink on the inside of the swaybar.

I compressed the suspension at full steering lock and dead center steering. Looks like the end link is not going to interfere with the brake lines.
