Hi guys,
Have been building a 1600 project for the last 6 years, was going to be rally car but went overboard on the body and paint and don't think I can bring myself to put it on dirt just yet, so, it will be used for sprints and track days for the moment. My question is what do people use for front swaybar links when adjustable lower control arms are used and wound out to about 3 or 4 deg of neg camber. std ones are on a pretty wild angle and the bushes won't last very long. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Drill new holes in the LCAs.

Thanks, wish it was that simple, there is a box section where the adjustable rod screws in, prevents a hole frame being drilled

How about mounting the sway bar to the strut instead of the LCA a la Commodore style?
The horizontal mis-alignment is negligible and the link will move vertically with the strut.

It may not be elegant or beautifully engineered, but my car has been hitting the track like this for quite a few years.

Bit of 1/4" plate of the appropriate size with a few holes, flywheel bolt and nyloc nut and away you go.
