Okay, you can see here what im talking about with the plastic screws.
I dont see how this is of any help if i dont have the brakets like the ones above?

And those bolts are as tight as they can go but you can still move your STB?

Have you tried undoing the nut and putting a washer there, and then tightening as far as you could go and see if it moves?

those are the factory bolts, I have those on my car and they don;t move. SO either tighten them, or like CBS said put some washers under the STB. Perhaps the threads are messed up preventing you from tighting them all the way.

well, i could try putting a washer there. the threads end before the nut is tightened to the car, but theyre still made out of plastic. isnt plastic kinda iffy for a stabilizer bar?
anyway i really like the idea of the brakets, even if they wont do anything more than the setup i have now. but do you know where to get those brakets/?

You can try Don Rome, but I would honestly get the washer (if you don't want a plastic nut, then go to a hardware store and get a metal one)

and it seems as if the screws under the metal are loose, keeping it from tightening, but the washers would fix that anyway right? id like to just go with some brakets though.
