They mount to the frame of the car. It's not a typical sway bar that resist body roll. This unit REALLY RESISTS body roll. The end links mount to the frame and then the rear portion mounts to the axle tubes of the rear end.

I don't know that it's better for the street, but I've seen a lot of drag racers use them...I have seen them at car shows as well so I don't know how it affects street driving but guys are using them. We shall see
