I know I went with the 10% stiffer ones instead of the 20% stiffer ones (H2 instead of H0 part #) because with the AC lift I just installed, my torsion bars (the Sway-A-Way ones, which are stiffer than stock) are cranked up a whole bunch, so they have a good bit of preload on them. Shane @ Bilstein really strongly advised me to go w/ the H2's, and so far (I received them in the mail today, they've been installed a whopping two hours) they seem nice. I will be testing them offroad this weekend, but I noticed less body roll and more control over bumps immediately (I just went on a slaloming test run through an abandoned industrial complex...
).
The body roll seems to have been reduced to the amount I had before installing the body & suspension lifts (note that my front swaybar is connected right now.)
