Do any of you guys have this rear sway bar?

If they bolt to the subframe in the same location as the factory brackets, they should be able to use the holes already on the frame if you use the factory self threading bolts on the later model Camaros. If you have an early year Camaro, the holes are not there and the frame is not reinforced at that point, so bolting to it won't work. The bolts will tear out of the fram.

IIRC when installing THAT type of sway bar it is recommended to have everything in the MIDDLE of travel/position BEFORE drilling holes in frame rail. as it is easy to blow the locations.

I just used a factory large-size (3/4 I think) Trans-Am rear bar. My 1980 Camaro, which did not have a factory bar, already had the holes drilled in the frame. Easiest mode I've done on the car. I just sourced some Grade 8 bolts and bolted it all up.

My reason for buying this was twofold.
My exhaust tubes are right in the way of the original sway bar mount holes and, this is a 1-in bar.
