I have a clunking on my right side that I haven't figured out, I also cut my bushings. I wonder if this is what is happening, it is already decently close to tapping the control arm.

Semi-true; the reason it won't bottom out is because of the extra height of the bushing, which is because the bar is fatter. Even with the bar bigger, they could've supplied bushings that would fit perfect, I am starting to think there is a reason they are taller. I think I might go back and take the brackets off one day and put the washers in like you did. I just dread that day with a passion.
