most of the bars that bolt above your shock tower perform pretty much the same. the difference is based on the owners taste.
i personally have a neuspeed 4pt bar and love it. feels stiff and solid. thats just me tho....

If it's a good thick bar, it should. It's just a piece of metal, so name brand doesn't mean much.
I used to know all the widths for the bars available for tegs, but I kinda forgot
. One thing I remember is, some of the cheapest bars are actually some of the thickest.

It all depends; there are some knockoffs that are pretty good simply because there's not much to screw up when copying someone else's bar. If it's an 'exact' knockoff, it should be decent, especially for the money.

Depends....DC Sports are a well known product, but IMO their bars suck. All i ever hear is about how they bend badly over time

That's what I mean, name brand doesn't tell you much when it comes to bars. Half of them are just for looks anyway
