they are only worth it if you have aftermarket sus and wheels/tires on your rex.
on my tein's its a night\day difference with cusco's.
the rear was subtle, but on high cornering you can
feel the difference.
also make sure they are high grade bars like cusco.
otherwise, dont waste your money.

I'd wonder about the value of a brace that didn't have at least some preload to it. Otherwise if its easy to install then the small amount of flex that you did have would not be controlled by the brace. There would be too much play in the suspension bolts and the strut brace bolt holes. If you can get them find the rear brace that has a add on section that goes down in the middle of the brace like a V and bolts to the floor of the trunk. The only way to really eliminate flexing is to add a diagnal support to it. Which is what the V brace does for the flat strut bar.

I am sure the generic brands are fine. I have a generic front and rear. They made a noticeable difference, and I am really happy with them. The name brand ones might function slightly better, but is that worth the extra $100 or $200, it your call.
