Default Traction bars and front sway question?

I was wondering if on a EM1 with the front sway if its possible to use the regular full-race traction bars and keep the front sway?I have the regular ek arms on the car right now but the sway doesnt work with the setup and I have been told that the ek sway will work?

if the traction bar is setup correctly then they should not interfere with the sway bar...

I am not asking whether they will interfere or not they are already on the car with no interference.I am asking if I switch the lower forks on the car to the non si forks can I still use a front sway bar and what is needed?

Because on the EM1 the traction bars tend to bind and cause problems with the bushings since they mount different on that model.
