front sway bar in civic almost done

i have an ek civic i changed the lower controle arms to Gsr ones and have the sway bar in but i have now run into a problem the shifter links are pushing on the sway bar i wont drive it like this so i have it stilll on ramps in the garage

my car is lowered but it should still work now the only thing i think i could have done wrong connect the bar to the controle arm wrong

are the endlinks supposed to connect from underneath the controle arm or above ? i have them above right now and i think thats the issue just want some feed back thoughim pretty sure thats it

post pics. i'm 95% sure it's from above, but i have no way to check at the moment. all i remember, there was only one way it would go in, and the swaybar snakes above the exhaust and shifter linkage. lowered or not should make no difference since the bar is mounted to the cradle, not the suspension.

The problem might lie with the sway bar. EG's and DC's can be swapped cross platform. I don't think EK's can due to the different sub frame. If it helps any, when I put my SiR front sway into my car it was from above.

you put in the wrong control arms. you need civic Si control arms not GSR...
