I beg to differ.... I'd be calling that a strut brace. Centre shock nut mounting type.

It
is a strut brace
Only difference is the way your one mounts. It will bolt onto the centre of the strut tops (under the black cap in the centre)

I still can't believe you guys start this topic up
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

Nup, its a poorly worded add. You cant be putting a solid bit of aluminium under your car on the suspension, it'd snap in seconds. Proper swaybars go under the car... made of spring steel.
