can u get a rear swap to work on a lowered car????

I finally got my fit up and running after 4months of sitting cause of recall.. I had installed my Buddy club coils and progressive rear sway but never lowered the car..

well today I did and I noticed the back wasn't going down very low.. thats cause the rear sway was hitting the bottom of the car keeping the suspension from moving up..

so I was wondering if there was a work around?? I was thinking you could space it out a little or mount it upside down

let me know if anyone has got this to work

... How did you install it? Please provide pictures if possible.

The Progress rear bar simply mounts to the spring perches and hugs against the bottom of the rear torsion beam. It shouldn't hit anything honestly.
