Here's where the main lower stress bar mounts to the car. Again this is the prototype on my test car, so the main bar is unplated and the mounting hardware is clear zinc chromate plated. For the bars I have now I've replaced the mounting hardware with stainless steel. Also, the washer that's on top of the heim joint as shown in this picture actually should not go there, as detailed in the instructions I send with the bars.

Cayman S Tiptronic Fitment
One note here - I had a fella with a tiptronic Cayman S where fitment of the main lower stress bar was a real issue. There just wasn't enough room there for it. He managed to work something out, but I thought I should make you guys aware of this if someone was looking to do this mod on an automatic Cayman S, whether you're using my bars or someone else's. I don't have a tiptronic Cayman at my disposal right now, but I will look into this the next time I'm at my Porsche dealer. Also, if you want me to look at your specific vehicle, feel free to send me a photo of the area where the bar installs. It's pretty intuitively evident whether or not the bar will fit because it's not just tight, but impossible with the Cayman S tiptronic. The side bars do fit though.

Polished Bars
Did something cool and thought I'd pass it along.... The side bars that come in the complete lower stress bar kit are made out of aluminum. It turns out that they polish up pretty good and very easily. I like shinny stuff, so here are some pictures of my now polished bars. I've still got three complete sets for $187 shipped.

Still Available
I've still got three complete sets of lower stress bars (main bar, two side bars, stainless mounting hardware, and instructions) for $187, including shipping. I've been meaning to get them up on eBay but just have been too busy lately. If anyone still hasn't got a set, drop me a line and I'll hook you up.
