PFADT sway bars with DRM ducts
Has anyone been able to make these two work together? What exactly is the clearance issue with the two? I really would like to have the adjustablility of the PFADT setup. It would give me the option to set the car up for HPDE use or full on autox setup.
Thanks

I have the older style Pfatty bars on my street car. I spaced the duct out from the mounting surface using a 1/2" thick plastic spacer. It is about 1" in diameter with a 1/4" hole in it. There is a pic in this album of the duct and arm on rt front.

Edit: I am uploading a couple of more pics now: 1 shows the spacer pre-install and the other is a shot up from the ground to show the clearance between the sway bar arm and the duct.

I have Pfadt sway bars with DRM ducts, fits fine on my car. Dont have any pics , but the higher your mount the DRM ducts the better. At full droop , my front control arm contacts DRM duct and hose, at ride hieght it is fine..........I also trim the inner fender liner slightly so that the DRM duct fits up against the frame so that the tires @ full lock do not hit the ducts . ( I also have my steering rack shimmed for full lock)

thanks guys. I'm going to finish up the install on the ducts this week. I was considering selling them because I wanted to do the PHADT bars next year. The car is 95% autox so I need to build my setup around that. But man I'm glad I will be able to have the ducts on there for the 1-2 HPDE's I do a year.
once again thanks for the help

I will know more on this issue after next week. I have a Phaft swaybar car coming in for some ducts with some other goodies. We are willing to change our mold to help with clearance if needed.
