I have onlt ever used a chassis mounted bar bafore, so I may be way off here, but from what I can see from your photo, It wouldn't make any difference where you bolted them up. My reasoning for this is as follows. This set up rely's upon the relative angle of the lower control arms to generate the twist in the bar. This means that where ever you bolt the thing on, you will be getting the same amount of twist because the lower control arms are moving the same amount. Where this differs from the chassis mounted type is that by changing the arm length, or distance from chassis pick up to transverse part of the bar, you change the moment acting on the bar. Ie shorter arm = stiffer bar. My advice is get the mounts as far apart as you can securely get them. This will lower the loads on the bushes and reduce wear. Have the forward one with say 5-10mm of the bar extending past the front of the mount and the back of the rear mount next to the start of the bend. That way, everything is sitting easily and not preloading the bushes and the forward mount has enough safety so it won't come loose. [Report message to a moderator]
