PM me if you need race duty drop links; i still have a set on hand.

Sent ya a PM.

Yeah, I can see your concern. I'll give these heim joints a try and see how they hold up. I'm getting new wheels next Monday with 20 mm wider rubber and super sticky Falken 615 tires. Once I get those on the car I'm SURE the new stress bars are going to get a real workout. I know I'm going to be having some fun and pushing the car to the limit.

I think the aluminum heim joints like this are perfect though for the side bars. I may just need to go to a steel heim joint and hollow steel tube for the main bar.
