Folks
Since the family went out of town for the weekend, I was able to:
1. Install new front rotors n pads.
2. Replace LR abs sensor.
3. New plugs 
4. Attempt to adjust HRSB for clearance.
5. Party Saturday night like itwas 1999.

WRT #4 Clearance of the springs just isn't in the cards for the sway
bar.
I took the bar off and spent hours fiddling with this. It needs to be
about 30mm longer IME to clear the springs.  Perhaps moving the bar
towards the rear of the car would provide clearance, but would require
some major reengineering of the mounting brackets.  So, should I pursue
the latest generation of HRSB (thinking these may be longer?) Or, weld a
30mm extension in the center of the shaft.  Or, cut the bar and join
each half together with a 75 mm coupling/collar?  
I'm just not engineer enough to figure this out.

TIA
