feck me. there are a few things like this on the american market kicking about, not quite to this extreme. I wouldnt expect much in the form of reduced body roll from this, however i bet it will do well to keep the wheel geometry from changing to much

It wont act like the WALK either.

the walk adds additional caster of 0.5degrees, as well as a stiffer bush, this in turn gives you dynamic camber on turn in(but none of the draw backs of negative camber)and  a heavier steering feel due to the additional caster.

IMO the stress bars i think would create a negligable difference in comparsion, but if you are going all out then every little counts, but I always thought that if you went to stiff on your setup(incl ARBs) it might be great in the dry but when its wet you need a degree of flex or the wheels will let go much easier

The front and the middle I'd stick my neck out and say were useless. I can't see enough of the rear to decide.

The front is bolted to the subframe & chassis, so has no effect on the wishbones/uprights/engine mounts/geo... all of which cause wheel hop. So their claim there to "eliminate wheel hop" is crap.

The middle, WTF?
Sideways yo!
