Yep thats a roll bar.

But what they are talking about is an anti roll bar which normally attaches to the suspension, The idea being that when you corner and one side of the car dips the suspension the other side is forced up by the Anti roll bar to level the car :)

Well thats basically what it does i`m sure someone else can explain it a lot better.

As for costs and where from i think jason may be able to help you there, And i believe he likes Stella ;)
