Would a cheap knockoff front upper sway bar give any improvement to stock handling at all? I realize it's not gonna be near as good as a reputable company would, but would it give a noticable difference at all?

eh...i guess the old saying comes to mind...."you get what you pay for"
if I was you i'd rather save my money and get me a decent one.
how do you know which is a decent one? ask everyone that has one and gather you own information then decide for yourself .
thats what i'd do IMO

Cooooooooool I want an upper sway bar.

You're talking about a strut brace, not a sway bar. Sway bars go under your car and connect the left/right sides of your suspension to reduce body roll.

I have OBX front and lower rear, I definately notice the impovement Vs having none at all. OBX isn't the best at all of course but I bought both for $50 used off my friends integra so why not?

Don't buy anything that has hinges on it. Buy a sold unit with no movable parts. (neuspeed is what i use)
