well it sounds like a deal. No idea how it would bolt right on.

I'm actaullly curious as to how these work too. I looked at one before I got my sway bars. I'm assuming it mounts to the same bolts as the lower front sway bar then goes backwards and connects somewhere else? Or does it go forward under the engine/tranny? Also, would it be worth it to get one and replace my sway bar with it?

I've looked around on here for info about them before but could never find anything.

The experts say it's better than a sway bar. The more places you can bolt on to, the better.
A roll cage is supposed to be the best since even if you have a sway bar, the chassis will flex in a different place, and the roll cage (when attached properly) will connect to more points at the same time.

I have to say it looks like it bolts to the two bottom bolts on the control arms and the other two I would assume are bolted to bolts that are perpendicular with the wheels. Thats how it appears to me anyway.

I still don't get it. I thought it was suppose to bolt up the other way... whatever. You think the sway would still fit in there since the H brace isn't connected to the same bolts?

Yeah I don't see why it wouldn't, looks like it wouldn't give any problems.
