Sway bar problem

[e30chronic]

I installed STAHL headers on my e30 and they hit my sway bar.Denting the pipe isnt an option. ive heard of people using spacers betwen the mounts but im wondering if anybody knows of sway bars that are made specific for this reason. Or any brand that would work for this problem.

I suppose you could use custom spacers to mount the sway bar lower to avoid interference. Other than that modification of the headers would be necessary. I doubt that any of the aftermarket sways are going to any better in this regard.

The OEM sway in my car just barely touched the headers.
Ireland sway has much more clearence, even though its thicker. But I don§t remember if its because of the shape or different bushing mounts. They do have a spacer included in the set.

It can sort of be seen here, unfortunately not the header clearence.
