Sway bars......REALLY??
I won a set of nismo sway bars and installed them on my 07 coupe. The handling/cornering was awesome. It was pre-tuned/non-adjustable, but it was sweet. Great mod, and very noticeable difference. Unfortunately, I've since sold them. One day, I'll definitely get another set.
Had mine on for three years now with the original links and I run the Raging Bull Texas Stampede every year. I have had no problems other than one of the back ones has to be tightened about once a year. I keep mine set full hard in the front and middle hole in the back.
One of my endlink brackets snapped on my 06 about 2 months ago and as far as I can tell the endlink itself is still good.
(1=soft - 4=stiff) My current setup is 4 Front and 3 Rear with Hotchkis sways. The @ss liked to kick out on a hard turn when I had it at the stiffest setting in the rear.
My quaife keeps that in line.
The highest "moment of inertia" is around the greatest weight. That would be the front. So I set mine full stiff in the front that's the holes farthest from the end. In back I went with the middle holes. That setting was recommended by a track instructor from Drivers Edge.

hmmmmm suppose I could bump it up one setting each the next time I do something to my car, but then again i've got an 03 and the endlinks aren't as beefy as the ones on the 2nd gens.

Then again, i've had my front Eibach sways on several track days (OEM rears) and so far the endlinks are holding up. From what i understand though, the rear endlinks take on more stress.
All that said, the OEM endlinks do last for a little while and they're less than $20 a pop, which isn't too bad.
I have my Cobbs at 2/4 front and 2/3 rear. It gave me very neutral feeling with square tires. When I a 255 up front trying to keep pace with the 295 it had a lot of understeer, but I cured that by stepping up to a 285/305 combo which has a smidgen of oversteer that I find very controllable.
I still stand by my comment about going with the Progress Group sways, you're not gaining much by paying more (just stay away from the Stillens).
