Based on the pubished Rates, I suspect the Hotchkiss bars are considerably more aggressive. That said, I was looking for a touch more control without making the car too harsh. I put on the Stillens and am very happy with what it got me. Good compliance on stock springs and shocks, and good roll control and more cornering spring rate while maintaining the cars neutral attitude. Overall very happy with the Stillens..Swaybars are all about balancing the chassis and these do it well. Bigger isn't always better and in most cases setting to the "Hard" adjustment on he rear will get you oversteer. Always dangerous in the hands of inexperienced drivers. Save that setting for the drift kings..
(And yes, even though the Diameters are close to stock, the increased bar rate comes from a thicker wall of the hollow bar design..)
