RSB and Lowering Springs Question

I have Sprint Lowering Springs and an Addco RSB, before my sprints the bar would make a CLUNK noise when hitting a bump of only bigger sizes, but now that my car is lowered the clunking happens much more often. Is the bar too loose/tight? Do i need to move the connection points on the bar? Its not a cling of any sort, no sound of metal against metal, its a clunk. Any ideas?

Move the rear bushings an inch or two closer to the middle of the bar. That seems to get rid of the clunking sound.

The clamp under the axle is hitting above it. Get under the car and look, move the bar clamps away from the obstruction.

I bet if you look at either the clamp or the bar, you will see where it is slamming into the rear beam.
