    I guess the easy way to do a swaybar would be the endlink type.... steal it off a phord.

    Count me in for 1 with sway bar provision. Maybe work with Johnny and his end link swaybars when fabbing up LCA's for us guys that already sport his bars.

    Given the extra room that is freed up with the tubular kframe...

    Some thought should be given to the swaybar position.

    Putting the swaybar above the control arms would allow room for an end link connection without having to give up ground clearance.
    I think the DSMs work that way but I would have to double check.

    Only problem is the axles are on top of the LCA's

    Still looking at options for the sway bar. You are on track to what I was planning Rich. The idea is to mount the sway bar to the top of the k-frame and have it meet the LCA with an endlink. I have a few different sway bars I want to try out fitment on. I was also looking into other vehicles with more aftermarket support for more bar options, diameter, etc.

    It might also be worth thinking about how the tubular kframe changes the airflow under the car. The factory went so far as to add air deflectors to try and get some air up to cool the turbo from under the car. The tubular frame will change that a bit more. Putting a flat plate of thin steel on the bottom might actually help the under car aerodynamics.

    What are the rules for using tubular frames at the track? Do they require certified welds?

    Re: Tubular K-frames now available

    What about placing 1/4 plate at the black colored areas in the picture to allow stock sway bar attachment? It would help strengthen that area, also.
    You can make an aftermarket or other sway bar an option. Click image for larger version.

    I gotta agree, I did an L body in the summer, should have taken out the K-member, would have made it alot easier.

    Maybe this tubular one will free up some room?

    Brian already said it would still require pulling the K-frame. At least it will be lighter.
