Yum yum, my words are yummy! Yeah, Grey Fox, I'm here to eat my words. It does indeed fit, and it was indeed upside down. Who woulda thunk... but it's fix one problem and a nother one comes up. Now the brackets, the energy suspension ones (which I bought to replace the original brackets that came with the bar, they got lost, is too big. The holes don't line up. But as soon as I can find those brackets, this looooong nightmare of what should have been a simple install will be done. Thanks for getting me back off my *** and under the car again.

The aftermarket brackets are too big??????

When I installed mine I only used two bolts to start and when I went to bolt in the 3rd bolt it didn't line up either. It was b/c the bracket was to far to the left. Take the brackets out and try to re-install. You maynot have positioned them correctly.
This may help:

The U-brackets that are on the bushings are too long. The two holes don't match up with the Autocross perches.

Try to take the u-brackets off the sway bay and mount them on the auto-x perches just to make sure.

You could get a dremel tool and drill a proper hole so that the two line up.
Put a washer on each side of the perch when bolting the u-bracket on.

I did. I'm positive.

I could, but I'll be honest, I have no damn clue what I'm doing when it comes to power tools. But this would be the easiest way to get it done. I was thinking of this too, but I thought it would be cheaper to just get the brackets from Progress
