I have hotchkis springs, ajustable pan hardrod, lower control arms, shock tower brace, and I think its some of the best stuff on the market.

I like the design of BMR's shock tower brace better than Hotchkis.
A bigger front swaybar would be one of my first mods, along with subframe connectors.
Do some research before deciding on LCAs, panhard rod and shocks and springs. There are a lot of options. Some of BMR's stuff is good, some is not as good as competitor's products, especially for serious race use.

BMR for sure. Plus I think Hotchkis is more expensive.

I like BMR for all suspension parts except the strut tower brace. Get the Hotchkis one. Has a better design, I think.

I'm a BMR addict, so my suggestion would be obvious

However, Hotchkis is definitely good stuff. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
