I recently purchased (used, from a guy on turbobricks) a 28mm drop front sway bar for my 240. At least I think that's what I bought. Today I set out to install it, but it definitely doesn't fit. When I compared it to the iPD 25mm bar that I took out of the car it's maybe 1.5 inches shorter end to end, and the flattened parts that bolt to the end links are angled a bit differently. When I tried to get it mounted up to the car the parts where the bushings sit were too far inside the frame rails and wouldn't line up. They would have to sit on the curves of the bar in order to line up with the holes in the frame.

So, do I have a sway bar for another car? It's definitely 28mm, I measured it, and the general shape looks like the iPD as far as I can tell. Has anyone else had these fitment issues?

Here's a pic of the bar, with a regular iPD bar in the picture: http://i.imgur.com/acn2y0Z.jpg

Just a note: the car isn't a V8 car, I was just excited to get a 28mm sway bar on it.

Thanks for the help!
