Problem with Rear Sway
I just installed my Progress Group Rear Sway bar w/tie bar and the bar is touching the exhaust cannister.(not the piping the actual canister). I also hear a wierd kinda creaking/banging noise. Not sure if its from it hitting the exhaust or because they just do that. But hitting the exhaust is definately a problem.
I zip tied(ghetto?) part of an injen hose clamp between the exhaust and the sway bar so they don't tear each other apart. Tried banging exhaust in a lil to give the sway some clearence to move around(didn't work).
Kinda stuck.
Installing my front sway later tonight as with some struts for a 180sx.
I called progress and they seemed to not understand why it was touching the exhaust. I am going to try and move the brackets all the way down and see if it helps at all.
Will post pics later tonight when I try and fix it.
HELP

What endlinks are you using? stock? adjustible? if they are adjustible you can lengthin then a little and gain a bit of clearance.

Tried installing Progress Front Sway and can't get the driver side endlink bolt off 
any suggestions. When I turn the nut the whole bolt turns
and its almost impossible to keep the metal bracket behind it from moving.

Oh yeah another problem though. It seems that the bolt for the strut bar mount(the upper right side) The threads were screwed up, so when we put it in it messed up the whole.
What can I do, Rethread the whole for a bigger diameter bolt?
