I'm having trouble with the mounts that mount the swaybar to the front nismo powerbrace.

There is one bolt and one nut. The nut side is just fine, but the bolt side is aprox. 3/8 of an inch different in elevation... kinda hard to explain

.........................____NNNN____.

Basically thats how it looks where the sway bar mount(with a FLAT bottom) is supposed to mount to.... Therefore ifyou tighten both sides, the N(nut side) sits perfectly, but the B(bolt side) when tightened all the way distords and smashes the sway bar mount.....

Make sence???

Btw- its going on(or through) the nismo powerbrace if that matters...S14

No, What matters is that you have a ST swaybar and a ES mount. ST/ES mount doesn't fit flush. The ST front bar comes with a longer bolt and washers to space it out.

Only pic I have now. Get some more later.

that would be great if you could get a pic....

So does the spacer go between the Powerbrace and the mount to make it sit level??

Bottom washers are the ones with the ST kit. I added the bigger ones on top. Also note how the bolt in the kit stretched. Have to get some better ones.

Doesn't matter that it's a power brace.
