Default Low profile rear sway bar for 99si?

My 99si has a 2" drop and a WS exhaust. The stock rear sway bar has clearance problems with the exhaust.

Any suggestions for a rear swaybar that will work better in this situation?

Thanks

the progress suspension 22mm rear sway bar would work. i've never heard of a clearance problem with your setup, but i have a world sport exhaust and progress sway bar and have no problems at all.

here's a pic.

thats an ITR rear bar copy , if it clears the 14mm toothpick should clear fine.
I'm guessing the car is dumped or the bar is on upside down....

Thanks for the replies and pix everyone.
I had already taken the sway bar off (because I didn't like what it was doing to the piping for my exhaust), but hopefully I'll have time to pop it on and take some pix tonight.
FYI, the bar itself wasn't hitting anything -- but rather the bolt that connects the ends of the bar to the little pivot arms that connect to the rear lower arms. I bought the car used, so it's possible that this had been messed with. Anyway, hopefully the pix will help.

So I got pix now, but I don't have URL to post them on. Sorry to be such a n00b. I can't find a FAQ around here that talks about this. Suggestions?

I did find this link, which shows a sway bar that's installed just like mine -- except my car is lower.

They're from Specialty Products. BTW, I had this sway bar/exhaust issue when I still had the stock arms, so they're not the prob. They are a bit shorter than stock, so my wheels fit inside the rear fenders without too much negative camber.
