project:BDR 2006 Evo STU build thread
The brackets will work with aftermarket bars, but the stiffest settings may over stress the end-link hardware, due to the increased angle. Even with a stiffer bar, the brackets would provide 3 levels of adjustability. So adds another method to balance the chassis quickly.
Rick, the cusco ones I have (got them from a pretty nice guy, btw 
) went one step soft and two steps stiffer. I flipped them left to right, and they now give me two steps soft and one step stiffer. Could I do the same with yours, if I wanted to make whatever bar is on the car softer?

Approximately 150% stiffer than stock.

Could I do the same with yours, if I wanted to make whatever bar is on the car softer? We improved the angle of the flange for the mounting holes, to align better with the end-link positions. So if you flipped them, the extreme soft #5 position may need a spacer for the end-link, which may come in the complete kit anyways. Probably not a concern as most people won't need to run a 150% softer bar.Should have the latest version FSB adjustable brackets in next week. The optional end-link hardware kit is still undergoing testing, since our season is just starting up again.
