I have recently bought a set of A arms from a place called "Fatmans Fabricators" that are 1" narrowed from stock. They look and fit well enough but I deciced it was time to install a sway bar. I find out that they "do not offer a sway bar for that application". No provisions on the lower A arms for such an unusual peice of hardware. Has anyone ever had this situation? What to do?

Since when is a sway bar an unusual piece of hardware ? I would have a shop, weld a tab onto the a-arm so, that a sway bar can be bolted to it. Or return them and use a different kind.

option 2 would be my choice
narrowed control arms dont really help you in any way
they make suspention geometry worse and apparently you cant have a sway bar...

You can get narrow hubs from ECI and others that will narrow track about the same amount without effecting arm geometry.

If you insist on using call one of the sway bar mfg's such as addco and tell them you need the exact bar with 1" taken out of the center. Look in Grassroots Motorsports there are several sway bar mfg's that advertise custom made bars.

Good luck
