Does this look normal to you?
I’ve got a 2012 sti. I bought a Cobb front sway off a guy who had it on his Wrx and I was told it was for Wrx/sti, that seems to be how it is for all bars for the most part. I have kartboy links with spacer and some pictures I see show them mounting like this, other more perpendicular to the bar. I contacted kartboy before getting the spacers and they thought the spacers would get me where I needed to be. For sure they’re a lot better with the spacer but idk. I was thinking maybe longer bolts and another spacer?
Any thoughts?

What does the other side look like? Sway bars often have lateral play and it may be pushed over to one side. Even if it does have stops on it.

Bar is slid over, should settle after a drive. If not it’s not going to work well, has to bind to work

It wasn’t AS bad on the other side but still was tweaked some like in the pic, bar doesn’t have stops on it so the sliding makes sense. I’ll bolt them back up again tomorrow and see

I think that's about as good as you'll get with them then. a little grease on the bushings may help them not wear out as fast.
I used to run them on my wagon but I have since gone with others. I think the ball joint style endlinks may suit you better. Whiteline offers a set like that. |

I was thinking I should go with the ball joint style. I’ll try bolting everything back up and taking it out to see if it settles out
