I replaced the factory front swaybar with a 1" from NPD. Factory was either 5/8" or 11/16". The kit came with 1" mounts, which I did not know. I purchased this 1" bushing kit.
The factory swaybar causes the end links to be tilted back, when used with the coilover suspension (see pic).
I heard you would have problems using a 1" swaybar with an FE. I seem to have no clearance issues. Only problem with this bar is that it does hit the frame when the tires are lifted off the ground. So this should only be a problem when I pull my General Lee "jump the river" trick.
I used the old end link bolts and had to shorten the bolt spacer in the (middle) about 3/8".

I hope you let your daughter drive the car. 
I can tell you that will NEVER happen. (And I'm one of those guys who usually stays away from words like ALWAYS and NEVER).

Valley, I do remember that post, and yes, you are correct. Only difference is that when he entered the freeway, he would probably would be swapping ends, passing people backwards.

To which statement:
1. "She will NEVER drive it". It takes a calm, cool hand and a license to handle dynamite. She possesses neither.
2. "ALWAY and NEVER". The older you get, you should always realize that there is never just one answer, one definition, one anything to almost every situation.
