I could be way off here, but doesn't the Suspension Techniques front sway bar just replace the factory one?

This sway bar bolts under the front subframe, and works with the stock sway bar.
I basically mirrors the factory sway bar in a lower location.
You will actually have two front sway bars.
This did this because no one wanted to remove the entire front subframe just to change the sway bar.
These were quick and easy to install, like the Lightspeed sway bars, which I think is the one in the photo since it has cadmium plating.
That, and price, are the reason no one really bought the Mugen 21 mm front sway bar.
I think you are missing some parts.
Is that all you have?
The plate in the photo above the sway bar bracket you posted is not factory, and you need that plate too.
The Lightspeed bar had a plate that bolted to one of the subframe bolts on each side.
Then the sway bar brackets would bolt to that.
There should be some kind of bracket that bolts to the subframe for the sway bar brackets to bolt to.
You can always line it up since the sway is designed to use the stock end link holes, and figure out where it would line up with the subframe.
But you the plates that bolt to the subframe for this to work.
If you put this on, you really should mount a good rear sway bar. Our cars understeer, or basically refuse to turn, when cornering hard. Without a rear sway bar, you will probably have more understeer. You want to stiffen the rear, which is the weak point on our cars, for better handling.
Well thank God for that, 'cause if I wasn't, this would probably have never worked.

Im a little handy with a MIG I have here and I was thinking maybe I can weld in some bolts to the sub frame.
I did use the doge caravan sway bar on the rear and it did stiff things up so im set for now until I find something else to do.
You wouldn't have any pictures or design of these missing plates?

I don't have that hump on my exhaust system and the Swaybar would contact with it if I don't point it down.. I can also make a tick 2by3 in steel plate with welded bolts that can push the bar down a bit so it wouldn't hit the exhaust pipes.

Jackson Racing's front sway bar kit was an additional bar added to the stock bar.
