Default Opinion on Rear Sway Bar

I am new to the 997 GT3 world, I have owned my 2007 GT 3 for about three weeks now. I am doing the "forensics" trying to discover what has been installed on the car. I am the third owner, the second owner only had it for six months and wasn't aware of the first owners installs. So this afternoon I have some questions for the Board experts here.

The first is the rear sway bar. It is adjustable, but it hangs way down low. There are evidence marks of scraping due to it's proximity to the ground. It like to ask if this looks normal to this group?

Also can anyone identify these sway bars?

Take it to BBI and they can give it a look over and answer your questions.

Thanks Carrering, that sway bar is upside down if yours is in the correct orientation. Wow, no wonder it is scraping.

Swing it by Stuttgart Performance, they can have a look and advise. They have the best customer service around town and are very knowledgable on Pcars, especially GT3s.
