From what I have gathered on websites, etc....the Hotchkis is about 300% stiffer than stock and the Whiteline is about 50% stiffer.

where did you get that whiteline info about being 50% stiffer? cause even though the whiteline is same diameter as the stock, stock is hollow and thin walled while the whiteline is solid

On a car that you have ZERO control/ adjustment of the front camber...you need all the roll control you can throw at it.
And then even when you have that...you still need it.
Our front bar on the RC is more than 2x the stiffness of any aftermarket bar... And thats the old bar.

Considering Dwnshift is way smarter than me when it comes to all things racecar, I'd listen to what he has to say more than what I said.
