The middle bolt holes were easier to get at on the Doug's as well as a couple other holes compared to the Hookers.
But overall the Hookers actually fit and go on easier with any modifications..so a heads up to anyone making a choice.

I've had the same experiences. For some reason the Dougs always come recommended and I could never figure out why. I've had to modify every set I've ever tried, and it is a little disheartening after you spend the extra coin on the coating.
The Hooker Super Comps have always dropped right in for me. I've even experienced this on Chevrolets.
