Default ATS splined sway bar installed

This isn't a huge update by any means, but thought I'd share some pics of the ATS splined sway bar because it's such a nice setup. I drilled multiple holes in the arms for some adjustability and made a pair of small brackets that attach the end links to the body. The bottom side of my frame rails are are solid steel that's about .250" thick, so I drilled and tapped 2 holes at 1/2-13 and used allen head bolts to mount them. They feel extremely solid and I have to believe the splines on the aluminum arms would fail before the threads would.

Do you know if they are ready to ship yet? Not sure I need one and it probably would be a lot trickier to install on my car...but I'm always looking into all the new products!

Yep, I believe so.

I'm not sure how much rear bar my car will need, but I figured now was the time to do it.

A very nice piece and as always well engineered. It should be a great tuning aid.

That loks real good, the only think that I can think of is it might be a better idea to use double shear endlinks, that way it won't fatige the aluminum as much.
