There's tons of sway bars out there; you can make sway bars like all the rest, or you can make the best. I don't see what is so intimidating about heim/spherical joints. Drive a car with spherical bearings in the suspension or sway bars, and you will understand why they are the best.

My suggestion:
How about a full race setup with spherical end links and adjustability to remove or add bar preload.
Straight NASCAR style splined bar and aluminum arms.
Spherical swaybar mounts.

In my race car, with Whiteline bars and 450/330 spring rates and race tires, the Whiteline rear bar was way overpowered, and the bent nature of the front bar and urethane mounts leaves much to be desired in the way of predictability. I'm in the market for some better bars...do you want a racer for some real R&D?

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Been running around like a mad man. Our goal is of course to have the best of what is out there BUT we also want to have an affordable alternative which is why we are releasing sway bar kits that utilize the stock endlinks first. Our own adjustable end-links are in-fact going to be spherical but they aren't ready for "production" as of yet.
