Sorry I have to call you out as trying to covering your ass! If you knew what an Anti-sway bar was there wouldn't have been any confusion. But it's all good!

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

May I suggest Thick wall Tubing steel, stainless. Or you can go with solid Aluminum stock 1" should be sufficient. I hope you don't want to use like galvanized pipe or black pipe. Stuff bends easily. Go to a scrap yard and look through a steel rack or aluminum rack you should be able to get it much cheaper then at a store. You should be able to get better alloys also. Just a suggestion

As I said previously, this would definitely be the way to go, even for a strut tower brace. Most especially if you are considering making a front brace:
engine heat + ballpark frank front strut tower brace + ketchup = yum!
If you are itching to make a homegrown rear brace, make sure you have a fairly good size footprint where it mounts to each of the towers. Use other braces on the market for guidelines - It will give some pretty good ideas.

When I replaced my Rear Sway Bar with a 98 SVT Rear Sway Bar there was a big difference.
My original was just a straight bar while the SVT had the jog on the passenger side. I imagine it was changed to make room for something.
