I had this same issue with akg engine mounts, raceland longtube headers hitting the sway bar.
With the eBay headers I had no clearance issues as the header collectors merge much sooner than on raceland supersprint copies.
I bought the sway bar spacers, and a h&r sway bar. Interestingly the bigger sway bar have a few more mm clearance as the design of it is diliberate to ensure no fitment issues on stock set up.
Once installing the sway bar spacers and h&r sway bar it still touched the downpipe. Took it to a local fabrication shop that was able to modify the downpipe to clear.
In the pics you can see it touching and then the modification to the downpipe to clear.
To be honest for all the effort required, I wouldn't have put these raceland headers in. After Dyno I made more top end power at the loss for mid range torque compared to eBay headers. For street use I'd rather have more mid range torque.
As the raceland headers are more free flowing, they sound more quieter compared to eBay headers.
Comparing raceland header to euro s50 headers, I can confirm they the inner diameter of both the exhaust ports and primaries are a few mm bigger...
