Default Eibach or Strano bars

I have Eibach sway bars but i would like to put Strano bars on. What if any other than weight savings do strano's have over the eibach bars, and would it be worth the money to upgrade.

I believe the Eibech is 32/21 as oppsed to the the Strano 35/22. I have driven an Eibach Sportline springs/ sway setup and Strano spring/ sway setup and there is no comparison. The Strano is far superior. The Strano had Konis though so I am sure that made a difference too.

Eibach has played with bar sizes over the years. Not all Eibach sets are the same. But in either case I feel the rear bar is too stiff vs. the front bar. They have been both 32/21 and 35/25 over the years.

Mine are not only lighter, but balance for what I feel is best for the car. Seeing as how I turn corners and win events doing it I think the balance is pretty proven.

Some may find that arrogant, and if that's the case I'll have to live with it. I think it's better than running some part with no proven history or relevant setup work behind it. I can articulate and explain how I came to the specs we use.
