If I understand it right, we are now allowed to use some kind of collar on the rear sway bars so that they don't slide side to side, which presumably makes them more effective. Where can I get those collars?

Thanks!

I found some at my local Ace Hardware store. I had to grind them a little to allow clearance to the subframe but they worked great.

I did the same thing as zauskycop in the thread that is linked.
radiator hose with the o-clamp has clearance with the frame, and seems to prevent lateral movement.
i will test it next time at the races. if it works, great, if not, i do something different.

I am really not sure how much of a load is on the bar lateraly, but i do know that after a session/event, mine is always shifted to one side or the other w/o anything in place.
