totally different

Strut brace's go between the TOP of the suspension mounts (know as an upper strut brace) or below at the bottom of the strut (known as [cleverly] a lover strut brace)

Anti roll bars bolt between the wishbones of the suspension at the front.

I'll see if I can find any pics

a strut brace, is a brace that goes between the suspension turrets to ruduce chassis flex thruough corners, this reduces understeer and helps corner faster

antiroll bars are metal bars that ruduce roll by acting as a torsion beam, when load is applied on one side, the force is transmitted to the oppersite side to a certain degree dependinig how thick the bars is or the amount of torsion they can absorb and reduces the amount of roll thru corners, making the cart more stable and quicker thru corners
