Clive's got the right idea if you can do the fab. If you can't or want to go the cheap route grab caber fix sway bar bushings (what I have on the yellow car) or a modified sway bar for lowered supers (what's on the race car) both from topline. Bushes are cheap, but if you're going to upgrade the sway bar anyway might as well grab one for a lowered super.

Ok so I'm going to upgrade ANYWAYS, so I'll get the lowered super swaybar, do I still need to get camber and caster adjustment pieces or no?

If you get the lowered swaybar you don't need to get the castor fix busshings and if you want you might want to grab the camber+ adjusters too

Those camber + adjusters are $55 for a couple of bushings and some bolts!
 Should I just get the sway bar from topline for $90 + shipping or is the CB performance sway bar better at $120 but free shipping?

Do either sway bars either compensate for a lowered suspension or offer any adjustability? What's their spec and are they any better that original and if so then in what way? Like all vehicle mods you should satisfy yourself that they will be an improvement over stock. Don't get caught up in the glamour of it all because you will be wasting money possibly on one of diverging compatability.

The caster can be moved forward some with a caster bushing (hole for bar is shifted forward in the bushing) on the TopLine bar. I don't know about the CB bar. The camber+ setup from TopLine gives you much more adjustability than the standard camber adjuster. Yetibone made his front swaybar setup and had some more adjustability. You might be able to find some pix of it if you do a search of his posts.

I guess I'll get the topline bar, and later get the camber+ adjusters and castor fix bushings...
