Rear drop Links

I have the Tarett rear drop links to go with my RSS sway bars but my installer was not able to get the stiffest setting because the drop links are rubbing. I currently have it on the middle setting. With my factory drop links and i was able to go with the stiffest setting. Any suggestions?

Return the tarrets and use the stock drop links.

What happened to the RSS drop links that come with the sways? They fit perfectly.

I purchased the sways individually without the drop links from another member. This is what I was told from tarett.


"The links look to be installed properly for the swaybars I've tested them on, but they don't look like they line up good with your RSS bar. I think that if you swap the large and small spacers at the bottom, the links will line up better. Please let me know how it works out."

The spacers are meant to keep the drop links as parallel with the damper as possible. It is not unreasonable to swap the spacers to help with clearance.
