If you want to use the trailing arm mounted sway you can drill holes in the arms and weld in a crush tube. You could probably also make a clamp the fits onto the trailing arms and has studs to bolt the swaybar to.

The simplest solution is to buy the K-MAC UC style swaybar. It bolts to the diff ans has mounts that attach to the upper control arm mount bolts. You have to buy longer upper control arm bolts to mount the bracket.

They are made by a company called Tubular Suspension Systems (TSS) in Sydney. They have a spherical ball setup at both the diff ends (for upper and lower).

I have a set of the lowers in my hatch and the machined spacers were not 100% and I had to take a little more off them, and even now one of them is a little bit noisy. There is nothing wrong with them but imho there are possibly better units out there.

Hope that helps.
