I will certainly be interested as soon as you have one that can accommodate the front sway bar.

Oh man, what a mental picture, two guys going at it quarterstaves style with swaybars and getting shaken silly by the vibrations every time they clash, LOL

I'll get some more pics loaded. The sway bar is winning at the moment. I will have the car on the lift this week so I can have another look at the s/b issue.Bump for pics! How's the swaybar fight going? Update!

Ah, you'll win eventually.
I can't wait for you to finish the sway bar mounts. Of course, that's probably going to effect what class I'm in for auto-X.
Any updates?
I'm dying to buy one of these.
I`m still interested in the outcome with sway bars

Thanks for the interest guys. As much as I would like to report that the swaybar is now an option, it is not the case. There is just not enough market for these to build a new jig that will allow a sway bar. However, I will still offer the non-sway bar k-frame.

GOT to have swaybars on it
Looks like nice work by what I saw!
Great stuff for great cars! Poly engine mounts and bushings at: http://www.polybushings.com
Just an FYI for all you guys bent on the sway bar. The Charger has no swaybar and I will autocross the car With NO swaybar next year. I moved up from 250"/lb springs to 350"/lb when I installed Brian's tubular crossmember and DJ's tubular heim joint a-arms and added a Polybushings REAR swaybar.
The car is now significantly changed with almost No body roll when hard cornering! (I haven't cornered hard enough to lift a tire yet though) The difference is night and day when compared to the car with stock urathane bushed a-arms and stock crossmember WITH front swaybar! So much so that I can't tell the swaybar isn't there!
good enough for me!

But until you actually auto cross, you can't really call it good, that's like saying, it feels strong on the street, must be good for 10's in the 1/4,

Not sure about a Charger, but you do not need a front sway bar in an Omni if the chassis is setup correctly. We're trying to get more oversteer in the corners anyway so why stiffen it?
Agreed.But until you actually auto cross, you can't really call it good, that's like saying, it feels strong on the street, must be good for 10's in the 1/4,
Would hate to think I like something until I actually push it to the limits and realize I need 400+# springs to even match OEM style S/T springs with a sway bar.
Sad but the market is basically whatever his car wants.

I think if people want a sway bar on this bad enough, they can do it! If you are needing an item like this, then you *should* have the capability to do some welding and modification! LOL
Well, I have Konis and Eibachs. I assume that wouldn't go so well without some stiffer springs?Just an FYI for all you guys bent on the sway bar. The Charger has no swaybar and I will autocross the car With NO swaybar next year. I moved up from 250"/lb springs to 350"/lb when I installed Brian's tubular crossmember and DJ's tubular heim joint a-arms and added a Polybushings REAR swaybar.

wouldn't be that tough to add some flat stock to the tubes and then a set of universal braket / bushings. The sway bars are pretty simple. BTW cars with spring tight enough to negate the sway bar will beat the snot out of you and skip on rough pavement. Great for autocross and drag racing but will suck on the street on a DD. Does a DD need this K frame?
Everyone needs this K-frame. If I could afford it, I'd have one.

+1 to that!
Though I expect that if you are running coil-overs you could run a short soft(er) spring to soak up the minor bumps and smooth out the ride, and pick up the higher rate/main spring to maintain handling.

My concern is that I run Konis/Eibachs. I'm not running coil-overs. I don't want to have to run such a high spring rate to compensate for the lack of the sway bar that when I am driving it on the street it turns my spinal column to dust. This car is a cruiser but I would like to take it to track days and auto-x, without having to swap springs out.
I am REALLY interested in getting this.
