I wouldn't say they were better, but they're probably about equal. I have them, and I'm satisfied, but I would definetely also recommend bolting and welding them in. Mine are just bolted in right now. Here's some installed pictures for you (with a bad camera ):

Interesting result, when I jack up the car, I put the jack on the front lift point under the side frame and the whole side of the car comes off the ground. The rear is a little slower coming up, but I can get a jackstand under both front and rear by jacking at one point.

i dont know, the spohn one has two extra pieces to create a trianglar y piece, and from structural properties you would know that a triangle is the strongest shape. i would think spohn ones to be better.
