Default sway bars... I need some opinions

I was looking on http://www.wholehyper.com and found some Eibach sway bars for my car. I've got a 94 accord ex. The Eibach ones are all one piece and when i looked at the Suspension Technique ones they're like 3 pieces or somethin. Does this make a difference in performance and installation? I'm going to be having a shop put them on, so it doesn't really matter to me but which one would be easier to install and which one is going to give me better performance?

What do you mean ST sways have 3 pieces? From what ST bars are one solid bar. I've got a set on my 4th gen.

So, does it really matter which brand I get? Cuz I figure they're probly built all about the same and they all do the same thing but you just pay for the name. Cuz I'm lookin' at Eibach, Skunk2, and Suspension Techniques. Sometimes the saying "you get what you pay for" is true for certain things and sometimes it's not. I don't wanna get a cheap set of sway bars that aren't going to last me a while.

unless things have changed since i talked to Jason at Eibach four weeks ago, Eibach does not nor will they may a sway kit for the G5 accords. they made two prototypes, that was it. I know it is advertised, I have seen priced apps for my car (95lx) myself, but they do not exist. The STs are very stiff, to say the least. In retrospect, I think just getting the rear Progress (they don't make one for the front)would have been the best choice, but they're on for now so I'll just have to deal w/ it. .02

If Eibach doesn't make 'em then why do people sell 'em? Are they fake or what?

So is pretty much everyone saying to get the Suspension Techniques?
