Strutbar... OEM or aftermarket?

Strutbar... OEM or aftermarket?
I am looking to get some type of strutbar for my car. I am new to this department so I do not know which will perform better in my car. It is between a OEM ITR Strutbar or one from Greddy/Neuspeed. I am just wondering if anyone could give me a comparison between the two options (OEM or Aftermarket) and point me in the right direction as to which would be the better purchase. (Lets assume the price was the same at $100 US.)
Any opinions and advice would be of great help.
Thank you.

I don't think the difference between them will make much a difference. Sway bars are where the handling is at.

anything that doesnt have pivot points
That means no spoon, no dc, no majority of them out there.
The oem em1/del sol/dc bar is just fine and you can get them for cheap

This is an on-going argument....forever. People without them, say theres no point. People with them will swear by them. I took all of mine off for a day, just to see if I noticed a diff, and it was like driving a completely different car. I've never taken them off since. So me..... I swear by them.
edit- I am using some strange japaneese bars (Some brand with two wierd symbols???) they have no pivet points

Too bad it will be slower since you added some extra weight.
Does anybody know if there are any laws against having strut or sway bars added to the car?

And I answered his question didn't I. I said the difference between them was minimal. Learn to read.

You'll notice a slight difference with the sway bars. Get a rear, then put a rear sway bar on. I would recommend either a Comptech 22mm or an ITR rear sway with Beaks kit. Depending on the rear/condition I might change out the LCA's as well.
