Sway Bar Sliding Help

I just installed a set of HKS Hipermax Pros. The problem is with the reduced ride height, the sway bar under driving slides to the right so that the left end starts to knock against the the areas in front of the bar. I cant understand how this could happen and how to remedy it.

So far advice I have been given range from chaning the end links to shorter ones to make up for the reduced distance between the roll bar and the lower control arm to raising the car.

Can anybody help?

The point is I have not excessivly lowered the car. in fact for set of coilovers, they ride maybe an inch or so lower then the stockies.

The latest theory I have tha sice the car is lowerd the endlinks do not sit perpendicular to the ground but at an angle. As you corner the lower control arm moves the endlinks at an angle across the car rather then straight up and down hence causing the sway bar to get pushed to one side.

Can anyone confirm if the endlinks of a front sway bar have to be perpendicular to the ground?

Make sure the end links are the same length if they are adjustable. Both end links should angle the same even if you lower the car. Sway bars do move side to side but make sure the two center mounts are tight without any gaps and greased with proper lube. Also since you lowered the car, make the end links shorter.
