I have run the Stillen front full stiff and no rear bar for a little under a year. Very happy with the setup. I have just switched to a Godspeed front(don't know the numbers but people have said that it is on par or stiffer than the Hotchkiss1). I have yet to track it but will be going a week from Saturday so can provide some feedback then. On a small tangent I can comment that the Godspeed front is well designed, fits much better than the stillen ever did. The thing is a heavy beast.

For the record the stillen front and OEM rear are imo as much bar as you woud ever need for street driving. The big no no is to just not run anything greater than oem rear, will give you some nasty snap oversteer in my experience.
