Have people had problems with the solid bars breaking? I don't normally check out Porsche Pete's board, but I did some searches over there and didn't find anything. I haven't seen anything on Renntech or Babblers either... Way to go Blinkwatt, starting awful rumors!

I think the setup that blue2000s came up with looks good. I would caution you on one thing though - use anti-seize on the threads of the heim joints. You're using a steel heim joint in an aluminum bar. Dissimilar metals don't get along well and will eventually fuse together. That's why I personally use steel heim joints with a steel bar and aluminum heim joints with an aluminum bar. Now this may not be a big concern in this application though if you just install the bar, set it, and then never touch it again. I'm just saying this is something to consider.
