so how does it feel? Butt dyno
So far very good. A lot of the things that have been annoying me seemed to have gone away. I haven't been able to get the inside to spin on the areas I normally see it, the backend also doesn't seem to step out as easily which I don't understand quite why yet but I'll have better understanding of how it behaves at the limit this weekend.

hat is a lot of angle on the bar, can you flip the endlinks and get the bar flat at rest?
That was the way I initially planned it, but once everything was mocked up there was interference with the shock under compression.
So the options I had were to move the link outboard and use a longer bolt for the shock, which makes it longer and still single shear on the same semi thin bolt.
Move the arms as you can see above, it makes them go at a extreme angle so the forces are uneven side to side IE you transfer more force to one side over the other under twist. This setup isn't ideal but it helps me get a better understanding of how this kind of bar works over just utilizing the torsion beam alone. I could have milled the aluminum down and used a ball joint to get some extra space, but given the interference and the axle play I didn't want to risk it.

The third option is the one I'm planning on doing later, is to get 30 degree arms so they sit parallel to the ground using the bottom link.
