Rear Sway LINK BRACE

Ok, I know the topic of sway bars has been done to death. I live in Thailand and finding a decently priced sway bar is impossible. I'm looking at spending USD$400 for a sway, minimum.

I found an alternative. . . I'm not sure if it's the real deal or a copy, but it's definitely a bargain at approximately USD$100 or 3k Baht.

Here's the item:
http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/g...7-p-47147.html

You can zoom in for bigger pictures. It attaches to the lower spring/torsion bar assembly and should theoretically do the same thing a sway bar does. My fear is that the way it works, it's going to apply a bending pressure on the bar, rather than a twisting pressure that sways normally encounter. I don't know if this will make the bar subject to snapping under heavy loads. Also I fear that those pivoting links are going to all but neutralize (or heavily minimize) the dampening of sway and body roll. The whole idea of a sway bar is to be stiff. . .

What do you guys think?
