Strut tower braces mount on the top of your shock(strut) towers - our front one you can see when you pop the hood - there's a stock bar on ours.
The swaybars are down near the bottom of the suspension and connect to endlinks that are near the A arms or whatever you want to call them on our car.
From what I know, sway bars help control body roll, strut tower bars are more for chasis/body flex control (rigidity).

Thanks for the answer JRock. Another question...
Going by your explanation, as I read it, couldn't you say reducing "body roll" and increasing "body flex control" or "rigidity" are the same things???
I'm sure they're not, so I'm looking for a little more explanation.

I'll get it on tomorrow.It feels sooo much more solid at 130+ With just the upper on I feel a hell of a lot more confident than I did before.

it'll probably rub against the stock strut tower bar a tad under VERY heavy cornering. Its a tight fit but won't be a problem.
There is a ton of space around the lower bar

Ugh, that sucks Astro... I have about 3 inches of clearance. Maybe I'll have better luck. *hopes*
