The sway bar is adjustable, so you should be able to move it forward and/or backward to adjust it.

I've seen a Stillen installed on an '03 Maxima, and it didn't have anything touching it - it was just really close to the black bar in the picture you provided.

if you haveing problems with the brake line brackets take them off and see of you can zip tie the brake like to the suspension beams and that way maybe you can get it on with out the spacers

I bought a couple of brass spacers at True Value for about $5 that would have done the trick. In the end, I didn't need them because of the way the brackets fit around the control arm. The only choice I had to work with was far enough from the parking brake cable bracket.
