Suspension help - bump stops M-5570-A

I recently installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my 2012 SVTPP, enjoying the new look and the ride quality hasn't suffered that much. Slightly harsher on the big bumps but kind of feels better on the small stuff.

My concern is that the rear bump stops are really close to the frame, about 1/2 inch of clearance. They also seam out of alignment (see pic) Shouldn't they be directly under the flat part of the frame???
Do I need to adjust the pinion angle with lower control arms to correct this, or is this normal??

My wheels seam centered in the wheel well, and the axel also seams centered.
I have a bmr adj. panhard bar that I was planning on installing this weekend, but not sure what benefit it will have, since the axel is centered.

last question, Should I install the Ford M-5570-A bump stop kit, are they shorter then the ones that come with the factory SVTPP package??

Thanks!!!

The FR handling pack comes with new bump stops, but they're exactly in the same location as yours, so I would say you're okay.

Thanks for posting up that pic, I feel a lot better knowing it's in the right position.

Did you happen to notice if the durometer of the new FRP stops was softer then the originals?

They look to be the same height, I may end up cutting them like one of the other forum members did, I'm thinking a little more clearance might help in the ride quality, and if not, I'll just get some new ones. :-)
