Sway bar really close to coilovers
 
I’m working on my suspension right now because I’m hearing some clunking. Most likely the pillow balls. But I noticed when under the car my rear sway bar end links are really close to my BCracing coilovers. Is this because my car is lowered? Do I need different sway bar links?

I've seen some coilovers that are really close to that bracket. If that picture is taken with the car jacked up that's as close as it will get, as the wheel moves up that link will move away.

I switched decades ago to something like this as it replaces the plastic waiting to break stock trash.

I ordered the front ones and they just came in I’ll probably order the rears soon.

I hadn’t thought of that, I think you’re right because this was on a lift with the suspension uncompressed. I’ll check soon and if it’s not better I’ll probably pick up the improved racing rear links.

When to get around to actually adjusting them, do it with the suspension compressed to normal driving flat surface ride height.
Then adjust so that both bearing are close as possible to being mid range of their movement.
This is to prevent or reduce the chance of binding.
