Does it matter which way you install rear sway bar? Facing front or rear? I have seen many different installments for different bars and I'm wondering which one is the right way. There were no install instruction in the sway bar kit so I installed mine facing front of the car like this:
But then I saw mopar muscle magazine installed it the other way.

The bracket bolted on the spring in your second picture looks like it needs a solid piece of stock, the same shape as the lower plate, mounted under the upper part of the bracket to stop th top upside down "U" shape from spreading. With the slots in the bolt holes. it looks like it wouldn't take much to shift the bolts and have the top "U" open enough to drop down the side of the spring. I didn't say that very well, hopefully you get the idea.

You are absolutely right. The lower plate should be the upper plate. Thank you.

One thing that I would question is whether or not the exhaust will fit with that bar. It goes straight across the car, whereas a Firm Feel bar does not just to give that required space. The way both the PST and FF bars are fitted is similar, which makes me think of the possible problem.

Yes I'm aware of this problem. I'm going to make custom exhaust myself. I have TTI headers but their exhaust does not fit with this bar. I'll post some pictures later.

Its possible that my post was misread.
The Firm Feel bars fit with no problems whatsoever due to their design. Even if the mountings are sharp, and a lot better thought out than others I have seen. IMHO, they're the ones to buy simply to get away from the fitting issues of others on the market. As can be seen in the photo, mine even clears the 3" TTI exhaust. Its a quality piece!
