Eibach: 32mm, 730 lb/in, 2 way adjustable, claimed 76% increase in rigidity

Stillen: 34mm, 720 lb/in, 3 way adjustable, claimed 21-48% increase in rigidity

Whiteline: 27mm, 2 way adjustable

Hotchkis: 35mm, 3 way adjustable, claimed 60-160% increase in rigidity

Can anyone fill in the holes, or help me understand why there is so much variance in claimed stats (I.E. the stillen is bigger than the eibach but much less rigid, and the hotchkis is slightly larger than the stillen but MUCH more rigid)

Thanks
No mention of the Tanabe sways? Or are they not worth mentioning?
