If your car isn't set up for a rear sway bar from the factory, you'd need to replace the lower control arms with bolt holes to accompany it.

mostly a bling factor. different size LCA can adjust your camber and suspension geometry, which is mostly for everyday/every weekend auto-x'er. miniscule 2lb weight reduction. new poly or hard rubber bushing depending on the aftermarket brand.
