I don't think there are any no name front sway bars. At least not that I have seen.

Running a staggered set-up there is no reason to disconnect or go to a softer rear sway bar.
For an AP2, agreed. For an AP1, I think the added front roll stiffness is beneficial.
Umm, here's the other half of my post that you didn't quote:

ok well what sway bar would be the best bang for the buck? Do I need to spend lots of money? or will an ebay bar be good enough?

Best bang for your buck, would be a Eibach 32mm Front Sway Bar at $180.

i was afraid that beefing up just front bar would upset the ballance by bringing too much understeer - so i went for front and rear bars.
and it worked well indeed.

Eibachs are probably the best bang for a buck.
F+R costed me [just] 335$ a set shipped.

Anyone have the specs on the Eibach bar versus stock and saner bar?

I'm going with a square setup on an AP1, looking to add eibach front bar.

for a non staggeed setup perhaps beefier sway bar (Sanner) is better...

Saner bar is definitely much beefier. However they are no longer made so only option is a used one. Gendron seems to be the best but much more expensive!!

Whiteline seem to be pretty good bang for the buck sway bars.

I'm currently running Eibach F&R bars with KW V3s and 235/255 stagger RE11s. I have the front bar on its stiffest setting and the rear on its softest, which maintains the front-to-rear rate ratio of the stock bars. I'm very happy with the setup for autocross; however, it's almost unusable on the street and too oversteery for big tracks. Fortunately, it's easy to swap the stock rear back in when a more nose-led balance is desired.

IMO your ovesteer doesn't come from the sways - it's from somewhere else from your setup.
