Did they ever make changes to the sway bar fitment?

I believe they have a revised version of their sway bar. But I have not seen any pictures of it yet, so not sure how it differs from the original version.

Appreciate the reply. I'll call them.

I've had my H&R Springs and Steeda Swaybar on with no alterations for several months, with lots of hard cornering, donuts in the snow covered church parking lot, holeshot tests with buddies, and no issues. I'm certain I got the Version 2 of the Steeda bar since that had the longest delay from order to receipt.

The issue is with the stock springs and the Steeda sway bar. No problem if you change both but I was doing this a little at a time.

3 weeks ago I had the sway bar installed with stock springs and had no issues. 2 weeks ago I added h&r springs. Still no rubbing. Steeda rep confirmed that the design was changed to work with the h&r springs.

Did confirm that changes were made to eliminate the issue with the H&R's. But here's another question, has anyone looked into adjustable end links for the rear sway bar?

I say this because I have used them on several cars to tweak the feel. It may provide additional clearance.

The Steeda rear sway bar arrived today, I took a couple photos to post here. Not sure when I do the install but I'll try to remember to compare the stock with this and get some photos.

After looking at the other photos posted in this I'm not sure if this is the updated or not, looks similar to me just sitting on the floor lol.

Looks like there is a small difference. I see a small 'bend' in the billet aluminum end, and it also appears that thesame end has been moved outward (from center of the bar) a very slight bit. Sorry for the crude 'photoshop' skills.

The plans that I had originally for this afternoon changed, so I went ahead and did the install. Here are bars for comparison:

Pass side:

Pretty obvious I'm on stock springs, one day I'll get the Steeda springs and put those in as well.

Looks like they made significant changes. Check out the original bar that I was sold compared to the stock bar.

Got my Steeda springs installed yesterday. in the first image you can see both the RSB (it's dirty) & (left) rear spring. That is the original Steeda sway bar w/ the last hole cutoff. I've got a revised version (like @boosted_st 's) arriving tomorrow.
