We just had this discussion by the way.

Cobb or Hotchkis bars for a full set with stronger rear brackets are under $400 shipped... |
You could be right about the endlinks but I was under the impression it was only the STi that cot pillowballs, and they're not that great either. But if they're going to be replaced, then I would not put an aftermarket spherical link in there. It will wear out and cause annoyance at some points, whereas a poly bush will not. Personally I don't like thinking of endlinks as consumables like brake rotors on a street car. I never said I thoguht it was the better performance option, just that it's not worth introducing an eventual maintenance issue for such a small performance gain.
Cobb/Hotchkis make great bars, but I'm ambivalent about the extra performance gains being worth the extra money. I would strongly consider them on my track car, probably go with cheaper solid bars on a street car.
