You guys are going to love them. Huge difference in body flex. Wait until you see the thin junk OE bars that come out in front, you'll be shocked.
Just as an FYI, one of the 6 bar sets (F strut bar, R strut bar, F lower bar 4pt 2pc, F lower bar 4pt 1pc, middle lower bar, middle upper bar), you don't need the middle upper bar. It replaces a super beefy OE bar that spans across the car and attaches in 4 points, so there's no real point. It's the middle lower one for the driveshaft tunnel that makes the most difference because there's nothing there now.
What WOULD be good, is if you can hunt down the rear lower control braces (2pc) which were discontinued. I've been on the lookout, but if your guy can get them they would be very worthwhile to sub in that set for the unneeded middle bar IMO.

@Mazspeed,@BLKROKT and@MBNRG, Funny this came up. I was just thinking about asking the guys that did my Cog Setup for my VW to take a look at this. One of the owner's Dad has a Government Contract, and the machinery. Just not sure if they can make it off of pictures. I will be calling tomorrow, Ill keep you guys updated.

Thanks for checking dude. I'll try to find time to put my car up on ramps this weekend and take some measurements. How hard can that piece be to make really? Do we have any welders in the house? It may be as easy as a flattened steel tube with holes on each end...

Ha -- If only I could weld. Wish I could. Maybe one day, I'll pick it up. My buddy can though... Wonder if we could do it during a weekend.

I've got a buddy that fabs/welds custom exhausts for a shop in Jersey. I wouldn't mind hitting him up to see if he'd be willing to help. His welds are beautiful (see below). Let me know guys
On a side note... Have we ever stopped to ask WHY they're discontinued? It seems like most of their other products for the 63 are still available and still in production. Maybe they noticed the bar was causing an issue and cut production? Not sure, just spit ballin here
EDIT:
Hopefully I'm not duplicating anyone's work but.... Figured I'd give it a shot. I just sent an email to Ultra Racing asking about the possibility of purchasing the brace. I also inquired as to why the bar was discontinued in the first place... I wanted to see if they'd give me an answer on this one. Don't want all of us to go through with this process just blow out bushings or crack a subframe or something random by connecting the points together... Idk just doing due diligence, I guess lol

"I'm so sorry to tell you that this Rear Lower Bars UR RLS4-1826P no longer in production. The design couldn't support for the car chassis. Due to the defect, so the production line stop manufacture for this item already. So we have discontinued for this model."
UR did not provide further explanation of said "defect".
Hope you get more answers than I did

These bars really make a significant decrease in body roll?! That is awesome to hear that we have a nice steel set available for our cars. Only ever saw the aluminum junk before now
