DC rear strut bar vs cheap eBay knockoff

I know the DC rear strut bar is a much higher quality piece, and will be more effective due to the fact that it has no joints, but I want to know if anyone has run both, and if there are any appreciable gains even from the cheap eBay knockoff. I'm asking because I don't have the money for the DC piece right now, but might want to get it in the future. I'm not even going to bother with a front strut bar, but when cornering the tail tends to "hop" around. Still far more stable than stock, but not as predictable as I'd like.

Poly bushings and what is your camber/toe readings out back and size of tire?

i don't know if mopar makes them for your neon, but they have upgraded rear tension bars for the srt. i would look into those for your car. the ass of the srt has a tendency to kick out as well on hard corners as well as under heavy braking, and these help dramatically with that issue.
they're pretty cheap too, like $50 or something if i remember right.

They work on all the neons.
One of my more favorite suspension pieces I had on my 03 Neon R/T
