    That's not surprising no one wants to touch small rods

    Dunno, neither of $80+ brackets really impress me - bolts hang on them to just couple millimeters of aluminum..
    My hardware store cut me some heavy square washers, will see how they're going to hold.

    I only need the bushings.

    why were you breaking the brackets so regularly? Im lowered on KW V3 for years and Ive yet to break one.

    Before I sold my speed, I had a Progress Technologies rear bar which was a 32mm tube and was excellent. the brackets that came with it were pretty beefy and no signs of breakage in 3 years i ran it. You can buy them separately here. Price point isnt bad either

    I had Progress coils on another car. They make nice stuff.

    $55 for brackets and bushings. Kinda pricey. I only need the bushings.
