Says the guy who put his car into a wall do to the fit or lack of lubrication of his rear bar.
I also don't understand why people think they are so "cheap"
Using GSTMotorsports as a reference,
Whiteline bars depending on sizes for an '05 STI run $300-$345 for a set. That does not include grease fittings on the bushing clamps, or reinforced rear mounts.
Cobb on the other hand run $350 for the pair which are lighter, have grease fittings, and include upgraded rear mounts.
Hotchkis, who I believe actually manufacture the Cobb bars can be found for even less with the same features as well as either a street or competition setup starting right around $310 according to Froogle. The Competition setup with End links is about $480.
Bars are bars for the most part the only distinguishing factors are hollow vs. solid, and adjustability.
I like hollow bars personally.
