Me too also.
Nice simple project to make and install.
Do wish I still had photobucket to see the pictures.

You guys are using this, I hope, as it's a big improvement, & really
'plants' the power to the road...

Also, due to our buggys having 'wrong-wheel-drive, it will never go away...

Honda has fixed it...

I looked into this and feel it's not that practical for daily road use. I can see how the bars could limit suspension travel. Or at least put stress on the anchor points of the bar ends.

I am starting to see why the 12 inch end links are bad. Maybe, even shorter that 10 inch would help?

But, then wouldn't the solid rubber LCA bushings do almost as much in keeping the LCA from wandering?
