S14 front sway bar hitting tension rod from being too low?

[az_240]

Searched and surprisingly did not find any info on this.

Here is a pic of what I mean... It does occasionally hit if I take a corner hard enough. I'd like to go lower but can't because of this.

What do you guys do about this? I'd like to stick with the stock FLCA if possible. Roll center adjusters?

My car is on pbm coils as low as they go and i dont have this problem... what size wheels you on? another solution raise the fucker up!!

I have the same problem except mine are touching with the car sitting still. I have an RB25 with Syko mounts which require a sway bar spacer. I also have SPL tension rods which are way beefier than stock which doesn't help anything either.

I'm not raising it.

I have 18x9.5 with 225/40/18s

If they are touching with the car on the ground I'd say you have a big problem....
If it's that bad you might want to invest in some aftermarket arms like these so you can mount the tension rod under the arm instead of above. I'm trying to stick with stock because my car is a daily and I don't have that kind of money right now.

Here are the solutions:

1. Raise your car.

2. Remove your sway bar

3. Get stiffer springs.

4. Correct your roll center so you don't roll as much (this will also space them farther apart).

So roll center adjusters are my only option if I want to keep the stock arms? Any idea how much taller the adjusters are compared to stock? Just trying to get an idea of how much room they would give me.

Are they all pretty much the same? I'd probably end up getting the megan ones since they are the only ones that are reasonably priced.

[PoorMans180SX]

The megan ones are pointless. They are spaced from the bottom. What you want is a longer shank on the ball joint. Moonface and Sunliine racing make the legit stuff but it's not cheap. you might as well get Battle Version or Driftworks arms.

^damnit... this is what I was afraid of.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably raise it a little for now and start saving for aftermarket arms and just hope I never hit a curb.
