Installed Rear Lower Arm bar

I haven't seen any post with this piece, so thought I'd share for those interested where the piece actually goes. It's a pretty straight forward bolt-on that connects the rear trailing arm to the center runner. The only things that have to be removed are the skidplate looking things that appear to do nothing and perhaps a piece during the manufacturing process of the chassis on the center runner where one end of the lower arm bar mounts to. Passenger side in the photo.

Details on the bar? price?

And yeah, did it make any difference at all? If it's cheap, that's cool. but if not.. you might be better off with the Tanabe or Cusco bars for the front and center areas. OR a swaybar or something like that.

Oddly enough yes, one can feel a difference. I would not have posted otherwise.

I acquired mine for $50, they're similar to the ones depicted below.
These rear bars that Tanabe have look familiar?

Sweet! would you care to share the info of your find? vendor?

I'm thinking Tanabe all the way for braces and stuff, if I decide on getting them. I know someone who has them and they are very nice and cheaper than the Cusco bars.
