rear beam/ sway bar set up- confused

[ukstariont3]

hi all.
i am looking to fit my ex-race rear beam (the part that bolts to the chassis to hold the diff/torque tube), and have noticed they have fitted the anti-roll bar/sway bar bush mounts to the lower side of the beam, instead of the top as standard.so it basicly moves the anti roll bar mounts down around an inch and a quarter.
anyone got any ideas why??? :?

my thought was that it would put more pressure on the anti roll bar, raising the rear wheels putting more pressure onto the rear shocks??

what advantage would that have?? :?
any ideas/ knowledge on this would be great. :D

heres a few pics-








afraid they are not the clearest of pics, but i think you will get the idea.

cheers, :beer Dave

I can't think of why they would do that - maybe it was so they could accomodate a different bushing to run a bigger diameter sway bar? I can't see lowering the pivot point doing much, you would get more gains out of a thicker sway bar or shortening the distance from the pivot point to where it attaches to the suspension arm.

On another note I like those solid bushes :D
