Strano rear swaybar

Strano rear swaybar
I recently ordered front and rear strano sway bars but i'm not sure if i installed the rear sway bar correctly. Ive searched around but I'm not really sure still. I had no problem with the front sway bar but it just looks like the rear one hangs down really low. The car is on stock springs and stock shocks. Any help is appreciated.

Ah okay I wasn't sure if it was suppose to hang that low. I already have front koni strs and strano springs sitting around just need the rears. Would it be okay to install them and just leave the stock rear shocks until they ship out?

This will get your bar back up higher.
Energy Suspension #9-5158G, about $16 for the set, or $21 shipped.

My strano bar does not hang that low. The bar is almost even with the pumpkin. Did you torque everything with suspension loaded?

it's pretty clear to me (anyway), because I have replaced my rear sway bar and with it did new bushings that beyond any shadow of a doubt it is as described above, the bushings are TALLER pivoting the center down more then normal.

It seems there's two items at play here: Sam's bushings are a bit longer to accept the Watts-link and the OP's car is at stock ride height.
I presume lowering would help move the bar up in relation to the pumpkin. If you're not going to run a Watts-link, is there any harm in using the energy suspension bushings on a lowered application?

I don't see how there could be any issue with using the shorter ES bushings, Strano's rear bar was using shorter bushing before without any issues. Either way unless he's have a ground clearance issue with the center of the sway-bar being lower he'll be fine with the taller bushings.
