-Stillen are cheapest and best for a street car with lots of adj.

-There are also tanabe, progress(sp), and other companies I don't know much about.
-Whitelines cost a bit more, are solid instead of hollow, and have good adj.
whiteline also makes rear end links. Nobody, i think, makes front end links.

I'm looking at sways and i narrowed it down to stillen vs eibach, with whitelines being a potential.
Thanks for the thoughtful report. I disagree with your assessment of the Hotchkis a bit. The Hotchkis are as adjustable as the Stillen (3 way) and on the medium setting, as I have mine, they behave very well during normal driving. The other thing to point out is that the Stillen front bar is the same diameter as the stock and therefore utilizes the same bar-to-frame mounts/bushings. The Hotchkis comes with new mounts.
