The BMR and Hotchkiss bars are stated as this:
BMR
Adjustable: F 33%/60%/96%, R 73%/97%/125%
Non-Adjustable: F 62%, R 52%
Hotchkiss
Adjustable: F 40%/65%/90%, R 25%/35%/50%
The FE4/SS 1LE/ZL1 sway bars are about 21% and 36% (F/R) stiffer than FE3/SS.

[ BMR states the FE4 bars at around 26.6% front and 27.0% rear vs. FE3/SS ]
The aftermarket companies typically produce off of the SS variant. It is said that the Hotchkiss bars are actually designed off the FE4/SS 1LE bars, even known their description specifically states the rates are in comparison to the SS. BMR's is off the FE3/SS.

For those asking why not replace both: Keep in mind that most aftermarket companies will sell a spring package, in which they will sway their bars bar designs to match their springs. Each company also has a different design goal/mindset on suspension balance.

Reason: Changes due to information direct from **BMR**
