Default What seperates cheap strut/sway bars from expensive strut/sway bars?

I know almost nothing about suspension which is why Im asking a dumb question... lol

As the title says ^^^^

I recently compared generic (inexspensive) anti sway bars, F/R strut tower bars and lower tie bars to some of the more expensive (neuspeed, Spoon, Eibach) stuff while I was at a local shop and in all honesty, from looks and feel... didnt notice much of a difference at all...

Is there really a difference?

I figure they all do the same thing (really only one way to do it), fit the same, are made of the same materials... What am I missing?

I know the difference in springs/shocks/struts from the generic and name brand stuff. Ive driven cars with both and can completely tell the difference. But thats a little different IMO than strut/sway/tie bars.

Someone explain ::shrugs::

the only real diferance is the quality in mounting i.e bushings connectors. other than that though really there is no differance. expencive or non- expencive its just a peice of metal.
