Other than that, I need to shift my fiscal priorities for the foreseeable future. It pains me to say this, but as a result of IBM's relentless labor globalization and wage equalization strategy, my job responsibilities are being transferred to their new center in Dubuque, IA. Which means there's a good chance that I'll be losing my job in a few months. Needless to say, modding just dropped a few rungs down in the priorities ladder.  |
Sorry to hear that man, IBM has been cutting jobs left right and center. At least they have decent layoff packages if you have been there for a few years.
From what I could determine the Hotchkis was slightly stiffer than the Stillen, however I think the Stillen suits a street car better. On my car the Hotchkis was too stiff up front for the stock alignment to handle and was detrimental to turn-in response until the front camber was increased. The Stillen also appears to be better made in that they use a crimp on lateral stop instead of a welded stop like the Hotchkis. The Hotchkis have been known to fail at the weld. I also think the Stillen is cheaper. The Hotchkis is 3-way adjustable in the rear where as the Stillen is only 2-way. Neither is adjustable up front.
I can only speak for the stiffness of the Hotchkis on my car but the body roll was greatly reduced, and the grip level increased slightly in the mid to high speed cornering. Car also feels more predictable with bumps in corners at speed.
