Does anyone have photos of the LH/LX K-MAC rear mount adjustable rear swaybar either fitted or out of the car?

Welby,

I have problems with the exhaust clearing the current swaybar. I am going to checkout the car on Tuesday morning. I will get in touch with you if it looks like the rear mount swaybar could solve the problem.

Cheers

Andy

Welby,

Going by the pictures below it would appear that the standard K-MAC swaybar brackets bolt to the the lower trailing arm bracket and possibly onto the shock pin.

Can you confirm this is the standard setup?

Yes Andy.

Couple of different versions there, but same mounting point.

I would not have thought the rear mount would be of much help to you. Certainly with the drop tank anyway.

There is no room back there at the best of times. Is your hatch still in the same place ?

Welby,

The hatch is still there, I will be picking it up on Thursday weather permitting.

I originally fitted the K-MAC forward mount rear swaybar because I wanted the exhaust to go over the diff which is not possible with the rear mount swaybar. It turns out that the exhaust has to run under the diff and now the K-MAC forward mount rear swaybar diff brackets are in the way.

I should be able to fit the rear mount swaybar with the exhaust under the diff similar to Litre8. If I can not fit the rear mount swaybar with the exhaust under the diff then I will run a standard swaybar and trailing arms for engineering. Once engineered I will replace the under diff pipes with dumps at the mufflers and fit the K-MAC rear mount swaybar.

I have a Kmac rear bar like that for sale if you want Andy. Did you end up getting a front one?

Dave,

I have an adjustable front mount swaybar. Definitely interested in your rear mount. I sent you a PM with my contact details.
