Default Problem with PSS9 and RS antisway bars install,, HELP!!!!

I am having the PSS9 system installed and got this note from the shop today:

________________
""John,
the drop links that came with the PSS's are not fitting.
the OEM sway bars fit much better but only reach two of the holes.
Have you heard of this before?
BJZ""
_________________

Here is what I have given them to install

PSS9 GM5-8044-H0


front bar 993-343-707-81
2 bushings 964-343-792-06
left sway bar end link 993-343-069-80
right sway bar end link 993-343-070-80
2 end link nuts 999-084-624-09

rear bar 993-333-707-81
2 end links 993-333-073-80
2 bushings 477-411-313-c

Any idea what the problem can be?

Would anyone who has had this combination installed give me the name and phone number of their installer so that I can refer my shop installing mine to them? Call them for advice?

The guys doing my install are Wright Tuning in Cincy (Batavia), OH.

THANKS for any help!

RS Sway must mount below the control arm? Just my 2cents.

I'm not sure from the numbers whether you already have them but you need to have RS droplinks with RS sway bars and adjust the shock "collars" (or whatever they are called) so that swaybars go under the control arm.

I couldn't find any photos from my car so here's a photo (taken from Rennsport System's wedsite) of how they should be mounted.

Finnster, May I make a suggestion? Try running the shackle up higher on the shock body,put the sway bar over the lower link.
Also a heim jointed drop link, really short, about 3 inches or so is the hot tip for this set up. I am going from vague recollection, as I am only working on late model stuff these days. Hope this helps Jay Putnam

Jayster,

That's not actually my car but mine is the same.

When we did my suspension we had problems with the short droplinks (way you describe).
They were short and sway was over the lower link but it didn't work...

We then wen't with RS droplinks and now it's prefect. This is how factory RS is set up so it can't be that bad.
