did you buy it new, or used? Looking at where it snapped, it looks almost like its been bent or damaged before. From what it looks like to me, the bar had a side load on it, in a area that was already weak from some other impact or side load. What strikes me as suspect, is the fact it didn't "twist" off as a normal load would dictate.

Had it happen to me with my Cobb sway, now I'm running stock. Be glad that it didn't happen when you needed it. Definately get it off the car and get your stock ones back on asap.
