Bud, I'm sure you know how A body and G body like to twist when they leave. I noticed your pictures of your Malibu and it looked like you were using air bags. I had air bags in my 78 Malibu wagon stocker years ago but had trouble with pinching the one on the passenger side of the car. Have you or anyone you know ever tried to run a stock style sway bar to keep the car from twisting or used an anti roll bar for this?

Thanks for your help - Jeff
Okay, so you are using heim joints to make up for the misalignment of the brackets. In that case ,I can't see how you could use a factory type sway bar with those arms.
The original point I was getting at; Can you use no hop bars to raise the upper pivot point on the housing?
That extra amount of separation is really beneficial, especially on a 2dr car.
