That was a joke, I think the damn thing already has a big FSB on it. Like 1-1/4" or something like that.

Concerning the 32mm FSB. This is a direct quote from Sam Stranos concerning his swaybar design as taken from NASIOC.

There is practically no slop in a properly
tightened urethane endlink. Properly being when the bushings have a
slight bulge in them, not hammered flat and not loose enough to be turned
by hand.

If you are worried about any play, you can tighten the links up further
and basically "pre-compress" the bushings even more. However the
result of this is a very sudden car that has a tendency to skate on turn it
because you are bringing a big bar in very quickly and give the tires
no time to deal with the change in load. Basically you can shock the
outside tire into a loss of grip which results in a slide."
