FRONT Roll bar drop links.???

£100 per droplink does seem way over the top, and I'm not sure that you'd still be able to use the KLA support brackets. I guess if the drop links are strong enough, you probably don't need the support brackets anymore... Nice to hear the support brackets make a good difference. I've only just found out about them (how did I miss that one?!?) and I'm currently getting a pair powdercoated ready for fitting. I take it you can actually feel the difference during moderate to hard cornering? Anyway, let us know what solution you come up with... the standard droplink does seem rather flimsy for something that takes so much load!
 
The KLA braces support the inner brackets where they're attached to the chassis, it's the outer drop links that attach to the wishbones that we're looking for, so you can still use the KLA braces whatever else you end up with. The benefit I found with the KLA's was simply more control of the front end during cornering and braking, and for their cost they are excellent value, especially if you have a strut brace and so on.
 
Excuse my ignorance, but would a rod end do? Or would that be too harsh, getting rid of the bush? I was looking at a few websites the other day that made them, I'll dig them up from my history if its useful? .... Although looking at it, it would probably be cheaper to get someone to knock one up that's a bit more substantial, theres a place near me that does welding n such for pittance.

Spherical bearings would be great, and you could probably get the links made up with rose joints for a good deal less too. Bearing longevity would be an issue, of course.....
