sway bar brackets

Does anyone know if the later revision sw20's have a taller front sway bar bracket? and if so does the NA model have the same brackets as a turbo?

I bought a whiteline front sway bar and the bushings are too tall to fit in my 1990 turbo brackets, and I can't cut them down to size because the hole is set too low. Just trying to figure out a solution and can buy some late model NA ones, but after buying different bushings etc. I'd like to know if they're going to work first before wasting more money!

Thanks in advance

    Didn't you get two sets of bushings with it? A couple of us here bought them and got two sets for the different years.

    I used a couple of washers to space it, I think one of the other guys made alloy spacer plates from 5mm plate.

    Simple solution, 3mm spacers see pic.
    Important that they are not squashed too tight and lube them regularly with something like Nulon X-treme pressure grease.
