Okay so I fitted this rear w/l R/B with the drop links, now for some reason I can't get the o/s drop link to sit on the outside of the R/B. However I can get the N/S to fit outside perfect.
Im sure they are suppose to fit on the outside of the roll/bar?? just dont look right to me, and I think I will pull the bushes out if I try to fit it on the outside of rollbar . just looks pissed if I do this. ?
Have I fitted it wrong or what.? my car is a 53 blogeye wrx. so am I being a turd or what .

While I can't offer an explanation for the ill-fit, here's a pic of mine so you know where you should be

Yeah, hate to say it, but I think you may have the wrong roll bar .... the D/L's should fit without any trouble, certainly shouldnt have to force anything??

Did you fit it all with the car on the ground (or weight on the wheels more to the point)? Is there a part number on the bar?

Go on utube and search for fitting vids - I've done that before when something you think is simple stumps you

Yeah It must be the wrong type bar, I fitted the rollbar on a ramp so wheels on the deck.
Just doesn't look as it should with the roll bar and drop links like that lol.
Yeah I have part number and everything as I got it from Demon Tweeks.

What happens if you swap the drop links about end for end, put the end you've got on the rollbar on the axle

Hmmmmm .... should be okay, as the XZ is 24mm and the Z 22mm??

that is so weird. the bar must be the wrong size, i can't imagine any other explaination.
for what its worth here is mine:

It looks to me like you just need to slide the whole bar over to the left half an inch. The mounting bush on the left you can see it too close to the curve of the bar, and on the right too far away. Ride height will have an effect on the angle of the drop links, neither will be vertical, so don't line the bar horizontally by trying to make one of the drop links vertical.

Okay just an update, spoke to Demon Tweeks they have told me its the right bar to fit my car on the paper work I have in-front of me.
They put me through to whiteline direct and he double checked its the right bar as stated. I'm waiting to hear back from the boss tomorrow with more info, the chap said it sounds like it could be a fault with the bar or something.
Anyway to cut a long story short I just slid under the rear of my car to check the sticker on the Roll/B AND THIS IS THE PART NUMBER:
SR37XZ
The one it should be as on the paper work is:
SR36XZ
HMM looks like it could be in the wrong bag maybe. ??
