I wouldn't mind trying it out but just wanted to see if anyone already has them and reviews.

There have been some other complaints of knocking with that lower arm brace as it doesn't replace the brace that is already on the car. It sits directly on top of it

untrue, it replaces the oem bar.

op i have both, and i did both of these and coilovers and strut towerbar all at once....i LOVE them. the 6 link i heard could rub agains your exhaust depending which one you have. i know the greddy evo exhaust clears on my gs3. only in reverse some times i hear a slight rub. get them well work the $$ i paid less than $200 for both shipped. much cheaper them the toms 6 link and trd flcb. good luck either way

If that's the case I'll pick them up ASAP. Do you happen to know how to install the 6-link?

The ultra bar would fit just like any other bar.. not over top another one...

Don't have a lower bar, but I've had the 6 link for a while now. Haven't noticed any handling difference at all. It did stop some of the creaking noises going over bumps and into driveways! I have a fully adjustable rear arms and links, though...
