I just bought a bunch for a STB I will be building in a few weeks. I also got a few bar-ends and such. I got mine from S and W racing. You can get them from almost any chassis company, like S & W, or the Chassis Shop, etc...

Sorry its been awhile since I was here. The STB will be solid. The ends, and pins will be for easy removal. The brace itself will come completely out, as one piece, and the attachment points will remain in place. I was concerned about the strength of the pins, vs bolts, but the pins are plenty strong. Ill post pics when we finish it, but itll be awhile. We are swamped at work. We are also going to make our own SFC's and panhard bar, plus anything else I can think of.

Forget the pins. Use at least 2 bolts at the attachment points for less flex. Look at it this way, take a table and attach each leg with one spherical bearing, the table will not take any side load and fall over. I'm making mine with a backing plate on the inside of the strut tower and another plate on top. Would you attach your rollcage to the floor with spherical bearings or a flat plate with bolts in each corner. Rod ends and pins are for when you want flex

There are two bolts under each strut tower. I can take it out in about 2 minutes without jacking the car up.
