Default C3 sway bar question

Can a sway bar be put on upside down?.I noticed a small hump in the center of both of them but there is nothing in the instructions stating that it matters.After installing the front bar I notice the hump is down.Can this affect handling?
Another forum,not corvette says it doesent matter but I wan't you guys opinion.
Thanks.

I wouldn't think it would matter. The sway bar is just a torsion rod. I just put a rear sway bar in mine today and the hump went up to clear the spare tire. there is so much room up front I don't think it matters.

If it isn't hitting anything it should be ok. (not hard to fix it though) We run ours upside down and under the lowers on our race car.
