Why would you break rods ends on a anti roll bar? I had one on my street car for 3 years and never had a problem.

I have not tried it yet, just heard some people comment on breaking the rod ends on the street. They are kinda small compared to my LCA rod ends.
Next summer should be the real test, I have not had much time to dial it in after installing the 12 bolt earlier this year. I have been working alot lately and just have not had much time for testing, I have not even had a chance to get to the track this year to get some new times.

To start just bolt it on so both rod ends are loose and then on the right side lengthen the rod so it barely takes the slack out of the rod end.

Then from there you can adjust it if the car isn't leaving straight.

I am making my own anti roll bar that will use a 1 1/2" heavy wall tubing, 1/4" thick plate for the arms and will use 1" .186 wall tubing for the rod ends and a 3/4" by 5/8" hole rod end, I doubt it will ever break.

It will weigh a little more than most kits out there but I can put it in and not have to worry much, change the rod ends every here and there.

I am going to put a grease fitting outside outside of the anti roll bar mounting plate and cap off the end of the 1 1/2" heavy wall tubing so when I grease it, the grease is forced around the tube vs. just filling up inside of the tubing.
