Stillen RSB banging on underbody of car

I put my Stillen RSB pretty far up, and the brackets on the front towards the front of the car sometimes hit the bottom of the car when there's a quick road imperfect or high ramp. This only happens when there are passengers in the back.

What can I do about this? I don't really want to adjust the sway bar anymore (I've found a great setting to my preference) but its a little scary that it hits the car.

Thanks

I had the same problem. It's like a big clunk sound, right? I had to readjust my setting on it and it doesn't do it anymore.

I also had the same problem. The RSB was sitting to far toward the front. The bar needs to be right under the factory bad and make sure the clamps are not near the body of the car. If you jack up your car you will see where the clamps are hitting the car.

LOL... this how I installed the RSB when Stillen first shipped out the RSB without instructions... The rear of the bar should be slightly behind the beam of the rear suspension... move it rearward like everyone stated above... I still have the 'dimples' where the brackets hit the frame... (I even resorted to rounding off the corners on the brackets before I reinstalled it the right way).

I see. Thanks guys. I guess this is my only option.

Will this weaken the effect of the swar bar if I do this though?
