Default Hellwig Sway Bar and SpeedTech Lower Control Arm

Hey guys, I have SpeedTech lower control arms and just bought a Hellwig tubular swaybar(part# 55705) for my 67 camaro. I noticed that the bar ends aren't parallel with the lower control arm hole. The hole in the control arm and the hole in the sway bar are about an 1 in off. When installed the end links will be at an angle about 15 degrees. I'm not sure if all after market bars are like this. I roughly compared the Hellwig bar against a factory one and they appear to be bent and are the same length. It looks like the SpeedTech control arms have the hole for the end link about an 1 in. back than a factory control arm. This is with no load on the suspension. I have another frame with a factory sway bar and factory control arms and the end links are straight up and down.

Thanks,
