[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 14130848, member: 130159"] Bars have a tolerance of 6mm for location and that's both sides independent of each other, then you add on bracket tolerances, bar diamter tolerance, sliding over in the bushings, and mixing vendors and tack the larger diamter 25mm boss or 26mm laguna stabar on the car and presto- a clearance issue. stock is 24mm. there is not a ton of load back there so I would not be worried about clearancing anything including the bar arms or ends if need be just a little - there is almost no stress in from the arm to the tip of the bar - stay away from grinding anywhere near the main elbow bend in the bar. good luck 'bending' the bar, at 40+ Rockwell it will just keep springing back unless you heat it, then it will lose its temper and strength - so do NOT heat it and bend it. a huge press is used in production to bend the arms in and out for best fit, and it takes practice. if grinding for clearance stay in the low stress areas- away from bolt holes, away from the stabar elbow bends.. i'm about to bolt these same brackets on so i'll let you know - I have a 25mm boss rear stabar also.
