Are all front and rear lower and engine mount sway bars made equally regardless of brand?

well since some sway bars don't even look the same as others i'm going to have to say no not all bars are equal.

no. DC sports i hear makes pretty ones, but they are less functionable (is that a word?)

Are Strut Tower bars functional-of course. They are used to stiffen the tops of the towers which helps handling as there is less deflection-therefore camber alignment is tighter. Who you say makes the best upper bars for 5th gens (that's what I have)-I have a Neuspeed in front and a Spoon in the rear upper. Why-because they are totally rigid.
It is my opinion and that of several manufacturers that a rear lower bar is not needed-only DC seems to have one and it flexes.

Sway bars are a different story. The 2 big names are Neuspeed and Suspension Techniques. I prefer the Neuspeed. The design of each products takes a lot of things into consideration. Check out the article in the May issue of SCC-good explanation.

If you want strut bars for function over form, dont bother with DC sports - they are mainly for looks. They are also easy to bend unlinke other brands like nuespeed and spoon. Basically, they are crap for strut bars - using aircraft aluminum for their bars isn't spectacular. i guess it's the aura of "aircraft aluminum" that attracts people to them. here is a very good suspension primer with some use of physics to help you better understand how strut bars work. http://e30m3performance.com/myths/myths.htm
