I've seen some members here with a Stillen Sway Bar which snapped.
Must have been set to the stiffest setting and driven very hard to be able to snap the sway bar. I haven't heard of any Hotchkis breaking though.

I had the Stillens...and I will say they are not bad, but flet unbalanced to me, I had the bar on the stiffest setting, and it made the rear end kinda darty at hight speeds than 80,
With the Hotchkis bars, now the car feels alot more balanced and feels solid and planted! no dartyness! I say just go with what your budget allows, both are good bars, but I like the Hotchkis! Hope that helps ya!

Really? That's got to be scary when your driving and you hear that noise.
Heard a number of Stillen Sways breaking.. Especially on the 350z..
Hotchkis I believe are the best ones.. Stillens are cheap and you have to use your OEM bushings..
Hotchkis provides new bushings!
I will be purchasing the Hotchkis sometime this year...

Have you considered the Eibach's? Unlike the others, the fronts are also 2-way adjustable. Just got mine. It comes with bushing/grease.

I like that the Eibach's are adjustable front and rear. I have Hotchkis and wish I could go a little less firm. The roads around my parts are not smooth and ride quality really suffers with stiff sway bars. It is much more penal than just lowering with Eibach springs.
I am replacing my Stillen bars with Hotchkis... enough said. The Stillen may be more geared for a slight increase in handling whereas the handling is my #1 priority since I already have the stiffer suspension (dampening) of the sport model.
