**** With the 36mm bar, my stock 32mm bushings wouldn't close all the way and left a little of the bar exposed on the back side when not all tightened down. Once I trimmed the outer edges like I mentioned in my earlier post, the tension from the bushing bracket just squeezed it all together to fit nice on my car once I bolted it all together.
The energy suspension bushings I bought for the bar had brackets that didn't seem to line up that well with the bolt holes in the frame, and neither did the GM 36mm brackets for the Camaro, so I decided to see if I could just trim the old bushings and make it work with the old brackets that were originally on the 32 mm bar. It took some work with the box cutter, and now the bushing has just enough meat on it to keep the sway bar from contacting the frame, but still fit with the stock brackets. I think others have mentioned using the stock brackets as well in the past with this bar, so I decided to give it a go without risking cutting up the harder Energy Suspension bushings. Worked well enough for me that I just left it all alone.
When I get back from a business trip later this week, I'll be happy to take some pics of my setup if you like.
