No swaybar?

[bigjae46]

I have a couple inches of clearance with the OE bar using a cheap amazon.com riser/lip.

Is there a way to mount the splitter lower? Interested in a solution because I have a GC front sway I'm trying to use with an Artisan Research front splitter, and didn't realize this could be an issue. I snagged a cheapo front "CF" lip to seal the gap between the bumper and splitter but haven't mocked anything up yet.

How the hell did you get that splitter!? I emailed them 3 times and just figured they didn't do it anymore since I never got a response. Those solitters look bad ass.

If you do mount it lower just realize you'll have to get the bumper to seal to it and it'll be below the skid plate.

Strange that you didn't get a reply by Josh, I just emailed him ([email protected]) and ordered one from him. I remember he had some email issues, maybe message him on IG.

It looks great, I added the tunnels to it as well. I'll post updates once I get it mocked up.

Any update?

I test fitted the Artisan splitter with this shitty Suvneer lip. Looks like enough clearance to the GC sway bar.

Its super close…but it won’t be in the way to splitter tunnels.

Is that splitter attached in the rear?

I traded a local guy my GC bar for a stock bar to solve the problem

The splitter slides into 1/8" thick C-channel bolted to the bottom thrust plate. I don't think it would clear if the splitter was bolted directly to the thrust plate. It is literally that close.

Does the Hotchkis bar have similar clearance?

Can you post a picture of the C channel, where did you get it from? Looking to do something similar

So it doesn't really clear, you modified how it bolts up to get it to clear. So is the front of the splitter now higher than the rear of the splitter?

I forget the exact measurements…

What do you mean? I didn't modify anything. The splitter is level angled slightly downwards based on the rake of the car. I have adjustable splitter mounts attached to the frame rails so I can change the angle to some extent if needed - the C-channel would limit that. I could find a way to make the c-channel articulate if I need to change the angle more.

Your words:

So if it's not bolted directly to the thrust plate, a modification was required for it to bolt up to the car. That's all I'm saying. If people see your pics and think, I'll just buy these parts and bolt them up, it won't work. That's where I was at 6 months ago...... So the ground control swaybar bar came off

Looked at it again today, yeah the GC bar is impacting the splitter. Will likely have to switch sway bars. I had a gut feeling the GC medium is too big anyway.

I will say, I went to ace hardware and got 4 thick washers which I JB welded together to get the splitter to sit lower. I did this because when I would tighten it up it was crushing my front bumper upwards. I doubt this would have helped the front bar not to hit, but it's worth mentioning.
