yeah, that is interesting, but the problem is where it mounts on the control arm, since the mounting hole is very thin, any side loading will probably just bend the material in that area. I think im just going to weld a Clevis to the arm, seems the most sturdy and still cheap solution. Now where to find a already made clevis, instead of having to make one!

YES I did but they are all proportionally huge, so far best option is to take square tubing and just cut it.

So I have a lot of room to make a mount that can clamp on to the end of the bar, and mount a spherical link.
heres a pic of the current set up:

What engine/turbo setup it this?

Oe, the antirollbar is coming up from under the arms.
Did you flip your upside down?

you might consider using early 944 arms rather than the 924 arms - those have a bolt-on sway bar end rather than the through-bushing like the 924 and late 944 used.

that wont work on the 931, because it mounts further back on the 944 arms, and the Mount for the bar on the chasis on the 924 is further forward than the 944's, theres already a slight forward angle on the droplink as it is with the 951 bar

see heres a stock pic
