Hello, I just installed a brand new UMI sway bar in place of my stock GN one. Same overall width and size. Problem is now, once I lowered the car, the bar seems to hit the frame on both sides. Bar is centered (as good as can be).
Is this an issue of the end links being too tall or some other issue?
Thanks for your time. Couple terrible pictures attached

You’re right about the pictures. Can you post some of the ends? And not so close up?

I was trying to show to contact spots of the bar. Here's a couple more. The best I can grab right now.
It does look as though if I cut the center shaft of the end links it should drop the ends of the bar a bit and therefore clear the frame. UMI did include a pamphlet that mentioned cutting them down if they're too tall. I just want to make sure that is the issue and maybe others have come across this.
Thanks for your help

That looks fantastic! Do you think possibly you have it on upside down?? This is mine. Stock bar. 2” drop spindles.
