Default pics of your rear sway bars

i just received my st suspension rear sway bar and was going over the instructions. there is a bracket that goes to the shock for the sway bar link. i don't like the idea of the bracket just bolting to the shock. my lca has a spot for a sway bar link can i just use that spot instead of that bracket.
would like to see what everyone is useing so lets see some pics.

This how the ST swaybar mounts, by design. It is for cars that both have and don't have an OEM swaybar factory.

If you want it to mount to the rear LCAs, then you need a different brand.

For the record, I don't like the ST rear bar. It is also about the same weight as a boat anchor.

Hmm, I'm not sure what your concern is. The bolt goes through the bracket, lca, and shock. Here's mine:

my only concern is that the bracket looks like it may spin when the sway bar is under a load with it just being held on with just the one bolt.

I got the ST bar because I figure it's better than drilling through my floor.

Its a PITA, mine did spin btw and I welded a retaining lip on mine so it wouldnt. Now that its on works well, but bad directions, bad install.
