I once called Firm Feel about this very same subject. Sway bar tabs for the Mopar lower control arms. They have sway bar tabs, but they are only for their own designed and manufactured sway bars. I don't know how those tabs will bolt on, weld on, or work with a factory sway bar. Then Mopar used two types of sway bar mount tabs. One style for the 70-74 e body cars, 70-72 b body cars, and 73-76 a body cars. The other style sway bar mount tab was welded on very close to the ball joint stud hole on the 72 and earlier a body cars, and the 69 and earlier b body cars. I don't know what year, make, model car that your working on, but i don't think the Firm Feel tabs will work at all on the earlier sway bar cars. The Firm Feel bars are located in a different position on the lower control arms. Just thought that i would give you a heads up this morning, about this issue. Good luck, anyway. I just re-read you posting, and your working with a Challenger, so those Firm Feel tabs may, or may not work for a factory sway bar. There's a pair for sale right now on e Bay. Here's the link to the auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOPAR-70-...QQ_trksidZp1638

I'm sure that's what happened... Very upsetting... Thats the way it is on an open forum though... Anyhow, can't find my old LCAs, I think they might have gotten scrapped so I would really like to be able to find some with tabs on them. I have some '69 control arms on it now, but I don't want to butcher them cause I want to make the parts car I have in the back a roller again. the CAD pieces look nice, but I really don't need to drop 8lbs off the front of this car. Would be nice, but not $400 nice! Course, if it cost me $200 to get a set of new LCAs, box them(probably $30 for plates w/ shipping) and new LCA bushings, I may be close to the cost of the CAD pieces if they are ready to bolt in...

Keep looking on e Bay,they show up there on a fairly regular basis. I rebuild these things, and then put them up for sale on e Bay, but i don't have any in stock at this time. I recently removed a sway bar mounting tab from a bent lower control arm, but i only have that one from the right side. Don't have a pair that i can help you out with.
