What sway bar will work with QA1 upper/lowers on a 65 Dart?

When I bought my control arms from QA1 I assumed there was a sway bar that would work with this combination without purchasing a QA1 K member. I mean, why else would I upgrade the suspension? I've read that the Hotchkis 67-72 bar will work with this combo but there are conflicting opinions about this. Can someone confirm a solution?

I just posted in your other thread, but the Hotchkis bar should work with the QA1 lowers' sway bar tab.

The QA1 LCA's sway bar tab is located for use with 73+ sway bars, so it won't work with a stock or stock dimensioned 67-72 sway bar. But the Hotchkis 67-72 front sway bar does not use the stock sway bar tab location. It actually uses a custom sway bar tab location that's pretty much identical (or actually identical) to the 73+ sway bar tab location. So the Hotchkis 67-72 sway bar should work with the QA1 LCA's. Or even factory LCA's that have the 73+ sway bar tabs.

The Hellwig "pro-touring" 67-72 sway bar is similar and should also work. The factory 67-72 sway bar tab locations seriously limits front tire width, so Hotchkis and Hellwig make bars that don't use them. Because if you're going to run a massive aftermarket sway bar you probably want to run wider front tires too.

The only wildcard I see is you've got a '65. But if you're gonna use a 67-72 Hotchkis sway bar then the end link locations should work with the QA1 LCA's.
