Werd. I'd go with whatever you can get cheaper.

I have BMR and I love the sturdy feel, unfortunately I have HAL springs in the front, so the car makes this see saw action. Since the rears are so strong the movement is more like a diving board where the front bounces up and down. I adjusted the shocks in the front a little more to the stiff side, little to no change really. One cool thing is that I hook really well with the BMRs on the street with nitto 555s on factory 17"s definitely a difference there! My 2 cents anyways, I don't think you can go wrong. Run a quick search though, I believe there have been two or three polls asking about Hotchkis.

I have the BMR springs with Bilstein shocks, ride is not too rough and the springs lower the car only 1", maybe 1 1/4".... perfect for a daily driver
