RSX sway bar and Grey's endlinks installation question

i just installed an RSX-S sway bar and Greys endlinks. i've been trying to get a hold of grey for a couple weeks to see if he could hook me up with instructions on the endlinks, but no luck. so i installed it the best i could. everything is in and fits, but the endlinks seem like they're at their limit of range of motion. see pics.

left side


right side


i don't know if making the links longer would help or not. from looking at them, it doesn't seem like it would. i tried the bar this way and flipped over. flipped over, it was less than 1/4" from hitting the lower control arms, so that didn't seem right.

any help/advice would be appreciated. i've got an 02 ES1.

it is installed right. the endlinks look ok, but I don't know what grey has in mind. YOu did a good job putting washers on both sides.

the bottom part that bolts to the car is at a 90 deg to the mount bracket. the top one is what i'm worried about. seems like it's at its limit of motion and any more pressure will make it break. thanks for the reply though. that gives me some peace on mind.

well you can add some length to the endlinks I believe. They look good to me. They are supposed to look like that.

cool. i've driven it a couple times and it's a big difference in the corners. car stays a lot more level even at high speeds. makes me want to look into doing some racing!
