I'll cast a vote for Hotchkis.

Pros: They work and work very well
Light weight (Hollow)
The fit and finish is perfect
Great Price
3 way adjustable on each end.

Cons: Um....er...uh....Cant think of any.

Default EVO?

I have the EVO swaybars. A drawback of the rear bar is you're losing nearly two inches of ground clearance in the rear; this is a bad thing for obvious reasons. It also looks bad when viewing the car from the rear, in my opinion. I would also avoid the EVO bushings if you don't like noise.

We have been working on the bushings. As far as clearance....I havent heard of this being an issue. Yes we do things a little different ...We are performance oriented in that sense and are always looking on ways to improve.

Well, I bought the Hotchkis bars. The only think that I would change is the ability to make them a little stiffer in the front. I would prefer to be able to go up to about 90% stiffer front instead of the max of 58% stiffer. Also, the softest in the rear is 64% and I don't plan on tightening up the rear much more since I can't tighten up the front. I don't want the rear end sliding out all the over the place with the rear at the max of 114% and the front at only 58% stiffer!!!!

i believe the actual settings for the hotchkis bars are as follows:

Front:
+9%, +32%, +63%

Rear:
+54%, +92%, +146%

I just dont get some of the numbers that are thrown out there.
Correct me if I am wrong but isnt the Hotckis bar 15/16th hollow.....and also does it follow the same bends that the OEM bar has?
