Default EIBACH or HOTCHKIS Sway Bars

Trying to decide between the Eibach or Hotchkis Sway Bars.

I had ordered the Hotchkis Bars, but read on the forum that somebody had a problem getting the rear sway bars on, so I canceled my order for now.
Maybe he had a bad install shop.

Just wanted to get your guys advice on the pros and cons of each brand.

Does anybody know the diameter of the Eibach bars?

Thanks

I don't think Eibach even have swaybars. They were the first ones announced but never came out. I have the F sways. They're great.

HE would be Kattanh, the reason it didnt fit was only because the middle east spec IS has a full spare tire in the rear, and therefore not enough room for the sway bar to function.

The hotchkis bars fit perfectly fine on US spec cars.

They do make Eibach bars.
