yep. well aware of that,keeping an eye on them.if they become a problem i'll make something more sturdy.(I was actually thinking of moving the front mounts forward,but decided I was too lazy!)
the standard links do look a bit skinny for this size bar.
I also agree 22 mm bar would have suited me,but the adjustable was on the car when I bought it.

I wonder if this would be a problem for the NB as well :?

Easy way to find out is to look at your standard sway bar and imagine it being 2 inches longer at the end-link bit... think about where it will protrude and if that will start to come into contact with something. Note that it would need to have th endlink bolt and eye with it too.

Further update - the great guys at Whiteline are looking at making some changes to ensure the adjustable swaybar fitment is even easier going forward, so when this is sorted, I'll let you know the outcomes and take photos to show how much better it fits for a standard NA with standard end-links.
