H&R sway bar install on Xdrive

Hey I'm having trouble with my front sway bar getting blocked by the steering rack when I try to install the H&R sway bars for my 2016 bmw 528i xdrive? I heard success of people installing it on xdrive cars am I doing something wrong?[IMG][/IMG]

IIRC the 528i xDrive is the only xDrive where it won't work on, since the 528i xDrive uses electric power steering as opposed to the hydraulic power steering 535/550 cars use.

Looks like it might require some custom spacers? Hard to tell from the pics if that would work or not.
