you should go to ottp and order the Street rear sway bar.

Install consists of laying under car, bolting bar with 4 bolts and being done. You need a wrench or socket.

the ottp is made by Powell raceshop, the same shop that made the time attack SS and its rear sway bar. That bar is smaller than the time attacks but its made to work the same. The eibach is smaller and a solid piece I think. The race shop bar can also come in different colors and is of high quality. I have the hardcore version which is even thicker (hallow as well) but I recommend that for only people that will actually autox or race on a road course.

Either bar is going to be good. Install is super easy for the rear...front...not so much.
Definitly a good mod. It really helps handling.

All the OP has to do is read around as to why its the better choice...

Quick said right in the thread you posted that properly heat treated bars are good.
I have the TTR and have had it since back when there was no OTTP bar or Eibach bar. Mine is still it's original shape. But this isn't about them it's about Eibach and OTTP. BOTH are good bars. It just depends on what you intend to do with them. Nobody has ever argued that. No need to start now.

I never argued. I stated my opinion on which bar to get.

Just installed my Eibach front and rear sway bars yesterday. The rear was a tough decision I was debating between Ottp and Eibach but I went with a set instead. There both great sways in my opinon, need to go to an autocross sometime now.
