you could adjust the steering stops just short of the wheel contacting the sway bar. It would cut dow on your turning radius but would not foul the wheels.

No dice on that one. These particular wheels were fouling right on the end of the sway bar (where it's cut, after the clamps) and I couldn't even turn the steering wheel a half turn in either direction.

Once I get the rally car ready for ice racing I'll bring the bug back in the garage and take some photos with the sway bar reinstalled.
