Ive done a lot of research in this subject..

Ive found that performace wise, everyone loves them but some have complained that with the hotchicks sway bars that there is a "clinging" sound every now and then

I dont know if it is a result of a bad installation job or what but thats what ive heard..

never heard anything bad about stillen which is why im purchasing stillen sway bars very soon

Use them to adjust car's neutrality in cornering.

Factory the cars will tend to understeer. Stiffen up the rear bar and the rear end will tend to come around more (it gives the front tires more traction), making it closer to neutral. That's why people recommend going medium on the front Stillens and firm on the rears.
