Default Adjustable rear sway bar

I think I am going to want an adjustable rear sway bar.
I've read the H&R is good, but very heavy. The Tarett GT3 clone bar looks like a good one. I think the OEM GT3 bar is more expensive than I would want to spend.
Any others worth considering?

I use the Eibach ones, with tarret end links and it works very well.

Do any of y'all have an upgraded diff? (Guard, or even wavetrac)
Asking out of curiosity, if one can help the other

Just get the Eibach front and rear bars. They feel awesome on the middle settings. Pretty inexpensive and I think it winds up being about 12 pounds heavier which is not noticeable.

With that set of recommendations I've ordered an Eibach rear bar. It is visually the same as the H&R, has the same specs, and was $217 shipped from FCP Euro.

There will be no regrets with the Eibach system, they work well.

But, if the car is lowered, buy the tarret adjustable end links.

Any benefits from "upgraded" sway bars for non-tracked, non-lowered vehicles? Spirited driving is primarily on mountain twisties.

An upgraded rear sway bar should reduce understeer on most all suspension setups at the expense of slightly more harshness.

A few years ago I converted to RWD, lowered with KWV1 Coilovers, Eibach on the rear, OE front. Very happy with the handling and lighter and precise steering.
