Default Hotchkis or BRM ?

HEy guys, just received a hotchkis STB but then I read in one of the posts that they can bend. I then searched for BMR and noticed they were way more cheap. Do you guys know which one performs better. Hotchkis is twice the price of BMR.

Thanks for the input

I have a hotchkis STB because its easy to get off and it looks cool. Any STB out there will be pretty good, you can't go wrong with either BMR or Hotchkis.

All the other suspension parts I would go with BMR, They have lower prices and their stuff is great quality.

I got the hotchkis because to me it looks a lot better. When its time to go to LCA/brackes, panhard bar etc. I will go with BMR because you get the same quality for way less.

I, too, got the Hotchkis for looks, but if you just want a STB that works, get BMR. If you want looks and performance, get Hotchkis. I got mine chromed, and it really looks sweet. Too bad I am in Kosovo and can't install it yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I've had the Hotchkis STB for the past 3 years and have yet to bend it. It looks good and as already stated is easy to remove.
