Waaahhhhh

The swaybar kit doesn't want to work with RPM arms. The front edge of the rear RPM arms don't have the mount holes for the swaybar linkage.

I put the rear sway on, and ended up ty-wrapping it to the upper arms. Now I'll have to see if I want to keep stock front arms or go with more ty-wraps.

I wanted to go with rpm arms because one of mine split right in the mold line at the pivot point. So it's like what to do, stock spare hpi arms, or go the ty-wrap method or forget the way all together?
