daliracing 1" (25.4mm) front sway bar on a 97+?

[shrddr]

has anyone installed the 1" daliracing FRONT sway bar on a 97+ NSX? what i am interested in finding out is what (if any) modifications did you have to make to the battery/spare tire tray to make the bar fit. i know the daliracing website shows that some trimming may be required... but it does not mention what year(s) that is for.

so, if anyone has first hand experience, please share

thank,

p.s. before anyone points out, yes, i know the trimming is minor... but the autocross class i am prepping the car for does not allow me to trim any part of the car.

It seems that the newer models require trimming of the battery tray with the 1" track bar as sited in the following post:

i know that some people have trimmed the tray for the sway bar to fit, but i guess i am hoping that someone has made it work without trimming. in theory it should be possible because the 97+ cars have (what looks to me like) a 1/3" rubber spacer between the sway bar brackets and the body. removing that spacer might make it work without the need to trim anything.

anyone tried that?

Would longer sway links help? Might give the clearance you need by rotating the bar farther.

as an FYI for those that are curious...

i installed the dali racing 1" (25.4mm) front sway bar on my 2000 NSX a couple of days ago... and i did NOT have to do any trimming/bending. the clearance from the battery/spare tire tray was actually better than the stock bar!

I believe the latest version of the Dali bar corrected the problem like you experienced

Yep! I think I did read it right a few years back

Dali Racing's new line of street swaybars for 2007 has been redesigned to be symmetric from left to right (tweaked to hopefully fit all years of the NSX and most* exhaust configurations in one shape) making their effects on the suspension equal side to side, (like our Trophy Bars for the race track) but with enough of a bend in them to allow the retention of the OEM catalytic converters
