Short answer...what do want to do? For a track whore than absolutely not, for a daily pounder sure/weekend cruiser, it will work fine.

Same theory, most of the bolt on replacement "kits" are full of compromise for fitment.

Of the bolt in style, which would be best? I am building a vert, and am affraid to cut up the body, and have problems with the structural integrety.

Wait for Mean69 to publicy offer his 3-link, minimal surgery required and by far the best thing available, second place would be the DSE 4-link I guess.

Good luck trying to get a straight answer out of the manufacturer.

Go read the thread on the G28 Airbar install. It compared well to a complete GW package, but I don't think it will keep up with a good 3 link or DSE's 4 link.
My thoughts were to bolt them on my 3 link in place of coilovers and experiment. I would also do the same with the DSE 4 link before I used the Airbar.

Yeah, seeing the G/28 results with the Air bar got me thinking! I planed on going with Aluma Star coilovers in the front and DSE Minitub leaf reay, but liked the ideal of bags. Some people suggest not mini tubbing a vert too, so I started thinking, and the Bags would not cost too much more. Not to mention our driveway is steep
