Stock sway bar?

This might be a stupid question. But does the stock sway bar have 2 adjustment holes, because if not I already have an aftermarket sway bar in my car and did not know about it. The thicknes on it is 18mm.
Thanks
Eddie

No adjustment holes on the stock bar. I wish it did though.

If the bar that came on the car has 2 holes it might be an H&R 18mm bar.
You can go to a good spring shop and have them punch an extra hole in your stock bar then reheat treat it! There is only 1 shop in this town that will do it, price is about $60. If you where to put another hole about 30mm back from the stock location it would be about an 147% stiffer. I got this info. from someone on this web site. How they came up with the numbers, I don't know.
I see you have H&R coil over so why are you using a 22mm bar?
