BC BR coilovers



So i was getting knocking noises from the rear on bumps, taking off and turns, figured my shocks were gone (stock/H&R springs).. installed new BC coilovers and am still hearing same noise.. my sway bar ends seems awlfully close to the coilover forks .. assuming this isnt normal? Anyone else with aftermarket coils? Checked under the car everything seems tight and exhaust was adjusted to not make contact with the frame.. when i bounce the rear of the car the knock can be heard so im definitely pointing to some where in the suspension ..

Kindof common. You need Improved Racing sway bar links or similar, so the links wont hit the struts.

kind of off topic, but are these the standard bc coilovers? wondering do you have any pictures of how low your car is?
Im in a rut in either getting the standard or the extreme lows, dont know if standard would let me drop the car as much as i would like, so please let me know! thank you

Yes standard .. im not slammed, but can go lower.. to be honest im not sure how much lower it will go since i never tried maxing it out .. probably best to ask the manufacturer..
