I believe this depends on the length of the sway link. If you are lowered and running the stock link, it is now longer than it needs to be and you have more preload on the sway itself. In this case, when everything compresses the sway ends up hitting the body first and then the camber arm hammers both. When you have the shorter link installed the sway is forced up into the body by the camber arm hitting it first. You have to play to find a sweet spot but if you are low enough, something is going to rub/hit at some point from my experience with this car.
(There are people that have no problems it seems but others hear BANG! from time to time when everything collides
)
Can't see the body contact spot from this angle but you can see when the sway binds up on the camber arm.
