The worst problem with ebay bars are availability= you buying it, then they email you saying they are out of stock so you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the bar, or a refund...
It happened to me...

to tell you the truth, I don't think that bar this thick, with one bolt holding it on each side, would make much difference. May be for looks? You have to admit, though, this isn't the best looking one out there, neither. You might wanna save that $20 for gas.

it does make a difference, and it's a difference that you can actually feel in your handling. I myself have an ebay bar installed, and I can tell you this, I take 35mph rated corners at speeds up to 55 (out of habit), with very little body lean/roll. So for LESS than 20 bucks, I think it would be safe to say that it won't hurt much to give it a try.

with a fstb installed the car just feels much more solid in a turn and seems to respond better
if your looking for a low cost bar that will perform well go with an ebay style (hollow)
if you want the best performing bar go with the stillen or otto(solid)
personally i think the otto is the same bar as the stillen just half the price
