My bad, I forgot the rear bar is curved at the ends, and as a result the link is not perpendicular to the actual bar. The link is fairly close to being perpendicular (on both of ours, presumably) to the virtual moment arm (draw a straight line from the pivot axis to the endlink hole), at least based on my quick glance.

It is interesting that I didn't have this problem with the Whiteline bar (running OEM right now). It may have to do with how they set up the adjustment holes - they are staggered a bit, so that the bar ends are not quite as long as the PT bar.

 

A lowered suspension isn't any different than a stock suspension going over a bump, the components move in the same places. My Progress rear bar doesn't hit the headlight bracket when it's compressed over a bump or in hard cornering at the track. Mine is installed with the bent pointing like a V. I did have to grind my Progress bushings with a belt sander to alleviate the binding in the bushing that this thread is about.

 

You are technically, correct. However when you lower the car, the sway bar as my pictures shows is much closer to the headlight sensor link. This is because that trailing arm (toe arm) is now angled differently when you lower the car (chassis goes down while wheel hub stays the same height) and also lowers the sway bar down much closer to the sensor link.

The only other reason some may not have this issue is if something got bent from factory which does not seem to be the case when I inspected. Jin as you can see, also noted how close his sensor was to hit his Progress bar.

The real question is, are you lowered from stock? And if so how much. If you didn't have this issue I welcome someone else running these bars AND lowered to take a snapshot of the setup. I'd like to see how and why they're different.

 

Hi!!! A questions for those of you who have the Evo-R end links: Do you have to enlarge any of the mounting holes for a Racing Beat sway bar?

Thanks
