I nearly did but my exhaust was in the way plus i feel the bracing effect was sus as it it too high up the sub-frame & needs to be down by the lower bushes for maximum stiffness.

keep your factory bar!!
look how high it mounts
this will be a serious downgrade!
unless you can mount it upside down and keep the factory bar aswell

I agree. I have the two other braces in the picture on my car. The four point front brace and the four point middle brace. These are very good and work well but I left the factory rear brace on as I think it is a better design.
Anyone used the sway bars from these guys?

Id have to notch it for the swaybar and change the bolt mounts to do it upside down, i thought it would fit over the factory one. guess im sending it back
