Default 90 CRX Si - Eibach rear sway bar w/ RSR Cat-back problem.

I got a sweet deal on a used, but in very good shape Eibach rear-sway bar for my 1990 CRX Si. Straight-forward install...only issue is that the right side of the bar has the my RSR exhaust pipe sitting on it. Obviously that is no good. I either need the exhaust system to be pushed backwards another inch or the bar lower by another inch on the mounting plates. On the mounting brackets from Eibach for the bar that would mean drilling a pair of holes lower on the bracket holding the bar in place. This will not place the bar perpendicular to the end links anymore without modification on that end of things. Any ideas of how to make the bar and exhaust work would be great.

I had a similar problem with my Invidia exhaust and ST rear bar. I had to find a different exhaust hanger (rubber one) and bend some of the hangers a bit. It was still little close 2mm, So I slit a heater hose and put it on the ST bar so it won't bang around

Ah...radiator hose...good idea...I also used a much smaller rubber hanger as well...but did not think to bang/bend the hang mounting points back a bit...I give that a try...thanks!
