My front sway bar uses a flat iron strip that runs across the front of
the car, below and behind somewhat the front cross member.  At each
end it turns upwards and attaches to the car where the bumper bolts
are. No new holes.

One other item about it, the front middle section is reinforced via a
U bolt over the front motor mount w/ a metal piece underneath the cup
of the mount fits to. (Upper side is a semi circle, flat on other
three sides). 

This bar is somewhat like a front chassis reinforcement but it's main
job is to provide a place for the front sway bar to pivot.

I'll see what I can do about pix.

btw- some springiness is desirable in the original application.
