As for the bolts for end links IIRC when 1 side is "pushing" the other side is "pulling" no?
So it would not make a difference if on top or below the are on the bolts......now for handeling???

There is only marginal stress on the bolts because the sway bar has very limited movement, either in compression or sway. The poly end links and bushings absord most of the movement and the bolts are constantly in a push-pull configuration. The bolts, for this reason, do move around and are protected by the end links. They never fight each other or stress. Most manufacturers include Grade 5 bolts because there is little or no stress. We just provide Grade 8 bolts because that's all we use. As for handling, it will be slightly better as the bar was designed...on top of the lower control arm. It will never hit the steering arms or anything else, because it rides up and down with them. The spacing to other parts is a constant. The increased benefit will not really be noticed on the street, never noticed on the drag strip, and very noticeable in high speed road racing and hard acceleration autocross. I appreciate everyone chiming in but this is not a complex piece of equipment. Hope this helps. Al

Yes, the strut rods are gone because upper and lower control arms are now A-arms and extremely stable. The upper control arms are adjustable with bushed rod ends, making caster and camber fully adjustable. Six degrees of negative roll is already built into the geometry of the system, making alignment easy to achieve and maintain. Al
