Okay, how about installing some really soft bushings...and, you can actually lengthen the endlinks - this will make the bar a little lazier since it reduces the leverage required to twist the bar.

I have a part number for that bar Greg, but when I check availability it comes up "part number not found".
Let me check into it some more.

I used ECE and found the part number, but when I checked the part number on DCS, it came back "part number not found".
I would have called on it, but ABS found one at Kass.
