Why would I pick one over the other? Price is not a factor.
What Rusty said! I ran Eibach on the street and it was a great improvement over my Nismo bar. It was fine for most everything but I did experience with under steer on the Dragon at speed. I switch to a Hotchkis bar because of that experience and because I was going to track the car. It was another step forward. The only understeer I got on the dragon was because I took the corner with too much speed. I don't really see much difference for most driving on the street for the most part. Oh you need to keep the Hotchkis bar greased up...it creaks a lot more than the Eibach if you don't. I love it matched with a square setup at the track...very predictable and little understeer and the right amount of understeer for my driving style.

Driving style should be a consideration as some people like some understeer...I'm not one of them it scares the crap out of me. I rather have my arse hagging out!
