so if you swapped the frame to an SL2 frame, then it doesn't seem like you'd have a problem

SPS used to sell collar locks for their bars. DO they not have collar locks for the 17.5? | |

yup. i have a set of 17.5mm collar clamps for my sway bar. problem is, they both cracked all the way thru and are now useless under there. save your receipt on this. if you look at the bend in the bar, tho, you will see that, unless the bushing mount point is torn off the car, the bar can't slide laterally very far anyway.
if i were to do this all over again, i'd find someone to tack weld the collar clamps in place once i put them on or just get a big washer with a 17.5mm opening and have that welded in place to prevent bar-float...

anyone know how to install the sway bat, i have a 97 sc2 and am doin the 16mm sway, i was wondering if you do it with the car in the air or on the ground! I thought i heard someone say something about doin it on the ground so theres not pressure on the bar, but i have no F$^&ing clue, help if you know! thanks

In the air. Get it off the ground as high as possible.
