Hotchkis
As nany body install them and can give a good feed back on the following:
-Track use. time gain? wear of tire gain? body roll gain
-Street use? is it too stiff for the street.
-snow driving?Ice racing? do you have to remove them for the winter as they are too stiff?
And then how long it take to install them. I heard the front is a real pain? and you have to remove some parts

On the lightest setting they seem a little stiffer than stock.
I was on a small track testing this out barely over a mile. It is a technical course and spec miatas are running 35 seconds. I was running low 40 seconds. After the suspension tuning I ran a 37.13, I also got some tanabe GF springs and an alignment.
The rear install is fast. the front you pay someone unless you have a lift.

I have the hotchkis swau bars and they are great for the track. They are built very well and you can set them to stiff, stiffer and stiffest

I would go with both - so you can adjust if you get different springs or are at a different track.
For instance if you are on a high speed track you may want to stabilize the car more (understeer). This requires tightening the front & back. I have my front set to all stiff.

While the Cobb bars are now out of production, all the info about the Hotchkis are still good:

I don't feel like re-typing what I've already contributed.
