RE: H&R Sway Bars
they're adjustable like the ford racing ones. The difference is that front is 36mm and the rear is 26mm! If im correct the ford racing ones are front 35mm and 24mm for the rear!! I just want to know if theyre good for daily street driven and how they compare to the above competition.

One of the brands I carry. Rear is too damned big. Front is ok, but when you buy better matched front and rears these aren't what I recommend. For simple business reasons I have them on my website, but they aren't what I personally use or recommend.

RE: H&R Sway Bars
It depends on the situation, and the use of the car (also what other parts are on the car). Most normally we use Eibach, but we are also finishing up on a set of bars made for me that are hollow (the rear as well) which will cost less and weigh less. Not done yet but soon.
I'd love to tell you "run this", and that's what most companies would do. I'm not most people. Parts are used to solve an issue, not change it, or make some other problem pop up. As such I prefer to use the best part for the job at hand. And because there are parts interactions (just like drug interactions) I have to know what is going on. I think of the way I work as part doctor, part pharmacist. The parts are the medicine. Doctors don't tend to prescribe thing because you say "I want to feel better", if they care at all,they need to know what is wrong with a bit more detail. I'm the same way. At the same time, if we think part X will work, that's great, but we need to make sure that part Y doesn't mess with it.
Suspensions are integrated systems, and they do much more work than any other system on the car, even the engine. At all times the suspension is working. Speedbumps, potholes, corner carving, drag racing, braking, turning. Andbecause you have some many factors involved it's more difficult to build a good package without information.
