Installing the BMR Watts on the fiancee's Shelby and having interference issues between the rear swaybar and the Watts.
Swaybar is factory piece, factory end links too.
How can I fix this other than removing the swaybar or replacing the bar/links assembly?
Is the suspension hanging while you're doing this? That was a problem I was having back when I was attempting to install it. Put a jack under the diff and raise the axle up a few pumps. Should leave you adequate room still to work.
It was hanging.
Like I posted above though, I flipped the bar side-to-side and got plenty of clearance.
The $90 non-adjustable Poly LCAs that BMR makes are pretty dang awesome. I'd say you get 90% of the performance of rod-end LCAs (which I had previously) with none of the clunkiness. Rod-end LCAs sound like throwing a drawer of silverware down a flight of stairs every time you go over a bump.
Yep, that's what a rod end suspension sounds like. Dead quiet for a few weeks or months, until they wear a tiiiiiny bit, then it sounds like someone pushed a tool chest down a flight of stairs every time you hit a bump.
Rod ends = great for racing, not for street use
Are you using these rod end covers?
I put these on and don't hear anything from the watts link.

Yea, if they are more than 1 day old, I'm gonna bet that at least one of the Konis is blown. Seriously, pull one off and see if it has any Nitrogen. Its easy to check.Today I adjusted my yellow Konis in the back down to almost full-soft and drove the car.
Car drove smoother/nicer over bumps, and it took a harsher impact than usual to make my "tool chest down a flight of stairs" noise re-appear.
Got me wondering if the rear shocks might be toast.
They're over 5 years old.
Gonna swap in the wife's OEM GT500 rear shocks and see what happens.
I'd swap in my OEM shocks, but they've been sold for a couple years already.
