There's plenty of guys that have them on Trailvoys. I can't recall if I've seen anyone with one on an SS though. All feedback I've read has been positive. Whenever I sell my old wheels and drop my truck, I plan on switching out to the Hotchkis kit.

I bought em. Rear bar is 1 1/8 solid, fits, works. Front bar is 51 mm hollow, cannot fit at all, too long, wrong bends. Designed for early years. So far no solution from Eibach for front bar.
Rear bar helped modestly, can finally drift the truck and throttle steer (AWD). Still not enough roll stiffness in either front or rear. Looks like the flying school bus is gonna need a substantial increase in 4 corner spring rate and shock valving. It's embarassing that my gal's stock '03 burb leans less in the turns.
You can source out a 1 1/8 rear bar from any other vendor and probably get roughly the same improvement. Eibach only comes in the pair and you can't use the front bar unless you are '02-'03. At well over $300 for the pair. Eibach has big company syndrome and they have been less than helpful in sorting this problem out. I've got a trouble ticket open with them and can't get a call back or even get them to find the details 2 phone calls in a row. I'm on hold with them right now and getting the run around from 1/2 dozen employees, none of whom know anything nor can help.

IIRC Tire Rack (or Discount Tire Direct) is good about splitting up the sway bar set for the F-Body. Might see if they'll do the same for the TB SS.
