Progress Sway bar Banging

I know this has come up before, but maybe my searching skills are lacking...

I had a Progress rear sway bar installed, I am lowered on KW coilovers. And it was banging on my spare tire well. I have a 2018 EX. I have heard from so many people that it didnt happen to them, no matter how low they were. And many said maybe I had it installed wrong. But, I followed the directions to the letter, compared my pics to online ones, and cannot find where I went wrong.

Anyone else experience this and have a solution?

The only solution is to change to another different brand bar

Hard Race has one
Cusco has one

You really need to get off your ass and just run a search.

I'm using the 16mm Ultra Racing one. It has 2 versions :19mm and 16mm

I have the same bar and mine doesn't make any noise. The fix is easy. That is a known issue that these rear bars clunk on cars that are too low. Raise it up and the noise will vanish.

Separately, it's cool to see the underbody cladding. The GE fit road noise would be greatly improved with that!
