Default sway bar hits frame...

Hey Guys

I have my setup nearly done...BUT

there is a clicking sound in the front
I took it to Evasive MotorSports
they rock!
and they said the front sway bar is hitting the frame.


sway bar hits frame where the red circle is

this actually shows where it broke the ABS signal wire



otters side hits frame too


Any thots?
have other had this issue?
The car is lowered on coilovers but not super low.

thanks in advance

Make sure you didn't install the swaybar backward. It shouldn't be hitting the frame.

Here is a pict of my front anti-sway bar taken from the side. You can see how the bar goes down after exiting the bushing. Then it bends up to be level meeting the sway link.
This is with the suspension drooping. In loaded state, the bar would be more horizontal and then go up to meet link.

If installed backwards, the bar's bend would put it closer to the body and increase risk of impingement.



Figs Engineering 30 mm front anti-sway bar.

OK the wheels and fitment I am loving.
AND I found out one of my low speed Klank producers was
the Ride Height Sensor assembly rattling and its "bushings" are shot.

Do I need to replace it at $375-500 plus labor or remove it all together?
Do I need one?

thanks
