UPDATE: for all that are interested in this. I have had the Bar for about a month now. The end holes on the bar were too small to fit the stock end links so you have to drill them out to get the threaded studs to fit in.
FYI to loosen the nut theres an allen on the end of the stud that you must hold!
Anyways when i ordered the bar i got brackets that were no where near the same as the old oem ones. I called addcco about it and they obliged me with no fuss at all. They sent me new deeper and skinnier brackets with new poly bushings to fit also. these are very very close the the same as the oem ones and fit almost perfectly.
The one thing you will have to do it buy 4 new longer 30mm bolts with washers and lock washers to replace the old ones as they dont have washers, and are not long enough to thread very far into the holes. I also reccomend using a little bit of loc-tite to hold them on better.
It has been 3 weeks with this all doen i have no odd sounds or rubbing of anysort, and the bar works AMAZING! I highly reccomend it to anyone looking to improve there handling.

Haha good luck all. I bought mine from summit racing and it was a special order so dont plan on a fast delievry if you go there as it took 2 weeks for mine to get to me. I will also try to post some pics of the Correct bracket versus the wrong one. Feel free to ask any questions you have.

Maybe ADDCO has fixed these issues (lol). I contacted them to share feedback but no dice. The only thing I think that could be better is if there were heavy duty type end links. Since mine has worked fine for a long time I guess it is not necessary.

Great idea - I should have done this when I installed mine Maybe ADDCO has fixed these issues (lol). I contacted them to share feedback but no dice.

It took some doing but they do make replacement endlinks that are 'A LITTLE" beefed up i found them after searching for a while they look the same as oem but are gold and the center rod is just a little thicker.
As for other options they do make others but none are a direct fit mods will most defiently be required.
