Rear Whiteline anti-sway bar.Can't get it on softest setting

I just installed a rear bar and it's sitting in the middle hole.
The handling is good, but I haven't taken it for a proper test.

Now the question is for people who have an adjustable Whiteline rear anti-sway bar, or similar, and have put it onto the softest setting; how did you do it whilst using the OEM end links?

I have 2 problems when I tried to do it:
1) the end links wont bend far enough forward unless I put excessive force onto it
2) even if I managed to line it up with the softest setting, the end link will touch the spring on the rear struts.

This is the same problem that TCR had with his front ones.

Mr Starlet has managed to do this by putting spacers onto his D-bushes brackets.
I can solve problem #2 by moving the end link so it's sitting \"inboard\" of the bar instead of on the outisde, but it just doesn't seem right to me.
Any ideas?

adjustable sway bar end links are your friend.
you'll be able to pre-load the bars and they wont stress the bush as much due to the hight adjustability

Agree with muzza2. That is exactly what I did.

Thanks fellas. I like the handling of the car on the middle setting anyways now :)
If it oversteers too much, that just means I need to lose more weight :oops:
