From what I have seen, the majority of the folks with sways have Hotchkis.
I have Hotchkis, but I can't give you an opinion if Eibach or Hotchkis is better. I am sure both are good.

Just as I did a search for 1fastsedan earlier today I could only turn up members who owned 5.7’s that had these. I remember Teahead debating on doing them. Below is his post where he decides. But then there is a post later on where he puts them up for sale. Go figure. Sorry, information is sketchy.
To be honest, I barely noticed any difference.
I had the sways installed about 2 weeks after I switched from the stock 18" rims to 20" rims and I think the 20" rims made the big difference in handling and ride. Maybe I never had a chance to really test what was effecting my ride, the 20" rims or sways. Even though I did test the sways on some nice mountainous twisty roads, I just didn't notice that much difference and felt the 20" rims made the big difference.
Then I got the KW coilovers, and the sways seemed even less important.
If you got the money to blow and want every little possible improvement in handling, then buy the sways. But for cost of the sways and installation, the improvement is rather minute in my opinion.

Not that I don't believe you or value your opinion, but how would you describe your normal cornering style? Most people that I have talked to that have installed the sways noticed significantly less body roll and improved tire contact during cornering, obviously more noticable at higher speeds and harder turns. The KW coil-overs will show a much greater suspension improvement than the sways, but more so in tire contact over bumps, rebound, dampening and ride height. Your body roll will be reduced with a lower ride height, but I take it that you didn't notice a significant decrease with the stiffer sway bars?
