So I ordered a Helwig 5904 and it is bent nearly identical to the QA1 bar.
After studying the matter further, it looks like either sway bar might just clear the strut rods if very carefully mounted through the QA1 Kmember -
I'll have to modify the splash shields, but these are old and brittle so who cares? I'm already repairing cracks in them. Anyway, this is as low as the strut member should ever be, in fact it should never be this low unless the car is jumping or cornering so hard that it's on two wheels. If the bar and strut rod have clearance with the suspension pushed down as low as it can go (car is on jack stands with no weight on the front suspension) there shouldn't be any other situation that could cause them to bang together, right?
