Default BWR subframe brace, sway bar in the way

The rear sway bar is in the way of installing the brace . was looking around noticed another crx but without the sway bar. Is removing it part of the install of the brace?

are you really holding the car up on the flimsy sway bar sheet metal bracket?


if it appears you need to move the or remove the sway bar to get the brace on i would do so, but am not really seeing where the interference would occur.

It looks like once he lowers the car back to the ground, the trailing arm rises and the sway bar lifts in the direction of where the brace would be making it an even tighter fit than how it sits now.

The bar should go up some once everything is bolted back into place.
If the clearance is too tight afterwards, ya can try to flip the bar.

Not a good place for jack stands btw.

Watch this video for the proper way to install the lower control arms. Its not the same car but the same principal applies.

And please get better pictures of where the interference would occur. The sway bar should not hit the lower control arm because the sway bar should move up and down with the LCA

It doesn't do anything except looks. I know I'm not helping by stating the obvious.
