Drifters, help me with my sways...

I'm wanting the best set up for my Hotchkis swaybars for drifting... Ever since I put them on, I really havn't had the chance to test them out due to the weather... Someone told me soft in front and stiff in rear... just wanted to verify... My Hotchkis are 4 way adjustible in the front and 3 way adjustible in the rear. Thanks for your help.

I started out hard front and hard rear with my Stillen adjustable sways. Changed them to soft front, hard rear. I like it much better soft/front hard/rear! No oversteer, never had the rear end kick out on me.

Remove [decrease] front sway bar that will reduce understeer and transfer roll stiffness ratio to rear.

Hmm, I actually think the hotchkis is 7/8 way adjustable right? You don't necessarily have to even up the holes... I believe that was per Hotchkis Docs.

I think I'm losing it. I remember reading it on the docs that came with the sway bars, but can't seem to find it stated anywhere else.

Also, I started a thread over at my350 you might want to look it. Look at the results of the poll and ask whomever has a setting you're interested in.
