Fitment issues with Eibach Front Anti-sway Bar

So I feel like a real tool in a way because I tried to install my Eibach anti-sway bar over the weekend and it did not fit well at all, what should be a brainless instal. I am wondering if any of you out there have any issues with this as well. The bends on the bar are a bit off, where the two "humps" are that were for the radiator inlet and the coolant temp sensor (I think) are too close to each other, in other words, there is not enough distance between the two sets of bends so it hits the mounting bolts for the steering rack. I called Eibach and they tell me that it is possible the bends were not correct but they have no known issues with this bar. I double checked the part numbers and that is good and I am sure I don’t have it in wrong. Funny thing is that it almost fits better upside down....but the end links are way, way off then. So does anyone know any problems they may have had?

I got them from mazdacomp so I will give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks folks.

Mine fits perfectly. Perhaps they sent you the wrong bar. Give them a call.

Thanks gracer....I called bot Eibach and Mazda. Eibach says that it is possible the bends were incorretly placed and Mazda says that is they admit that may be an issue they have good reason, they ussually dont say anything like that according to mazda. So mazdacomp shipped me out a new one at no charge, and free overnight shipping. Another reason Mazdacomp is one hell of an outift.
