The picture below shows 3 cubes, the top left one is supposed to be able to move horizontally and vertically, which is controlled by the two cubes on the right, my problem is despite setting the pistons to stiff, the horizontal piston goes on a slope, so looking at the picture the top one is the desired result and the bottom what actually happens, any ideas what i can do to sort this?

Ah yes the old piston sagging problem. There is a very simple fix, if it suits your application that is. Instead of setting it up like you have in the picture set it up like this [ ] i| [ ]----[ ] <- Make that one dark matter. That is the easiest fix but like I said it doesn't suit every application.

unfortunately the thing im making doesn't suit this setup, on my picture that bottom cube is dark matter, but the thing still slopes!

Make the cornerstone bigger/more massive. For some reason, the strength of pistons and other connectors is based on the mass of the objects it connects. Note that it's mass, not weight, so a large block of pink floaty is just as effective as an equally sized block of cardboard. Metal/stone, obviously is the most massive and you can get away with smaller sizes.
