Default 22mm sway bar, should I buy *pic*

This guy is selling this on a local forum and it looks like a good deal, but any experts want to give me a heads up on anything let me know. I talked to him and he says everything I need to bolt it on comes with it. Should I do it?
22 mm swaybar and tie bar, All hardware D brackets bushings and
endlinks inlcuded, a little dirty

That looks an awful lot like an OBX one on eBay for 100...

Hopefully, you're getting it cheaper than that from this guy.

I like my 22mm, just make sure you have some form of subframe reinforcement.

No way... that one is a cheap knockoff. The one in the original post looks like the Suspension Techniques kit that I have. The small bar IS the subframe reinforcement. That's beefy, I'd wait until spring to install it

I don't know how much your paying for it but I don't really like how many pieces it is constructed out of. What I mean is the tie bar and the sub frame reinforcements etc. are all seperate pieces. It also looks like it has been on something for awhile by the looks of the rust on the brackets. I would make sure the bushings and end links are all in good shape before you buy it. I would suggest a stronger one piece design like the Progress combo I put on my Civic shown below:

Hey MXS, If you have the same one if you could just help me, he said that he dosent have extended LCA bolts, he used OEM ones, will this work?. The end links are OEM non adjustable, is that fine?. One last thing, its just the bar that bolts on to the subframe, then the sway bar gets put onto that, there is no metal backing that goes on the other side of the subframe, is that right? Just the brace gets bolted on to the frame, and the sway bar to that and Im good?

Thanks
