Default Rear IRS swaybars

Hi,
Just wondering what the difference is between the replacement type rear swaybars for IRS sedans. Mainly the difference between the ones that use OE swaybar and those that dont? Is one better than the other?

cheers
Adam

sway bars after market come in variouse sizes, the thicker the sway bar the stiffer it will be (also adjustable sways for the really seriouse about track work) , the more you make it stiff the more it will tend to break loose at the road holding limit, it will also effect ride qaulity, getting a balance or a happy medium is what we all want, the factory sways usually are set more for softer ride and understeer, what the average Joe is happy with, thats about as good as i can explain it anyway.

Thanks!

I contacted Selbys and found out the difference.
Now I just need to know if my S3 Ghia would have come with a rear swaybar or not?
