Hotchkis swaybar settings question?

I am installing hotchkis swaybars, and would like some feedback on settings. I would like to get less understeer for more of a balanced feel. Even a little bit of oversteer would be fine. I was planning on just using the medium settings on front and rear. I am running Z springs and stock shocks, so pretty much stock at this point. Thanks for the feedback.

If you're rolling on stock wheels, i wouldn't take it above Med/Med. (Front/Rear)

If you're rolling on 9.5 or 10.5 in the rears, you could go up to Med/Hard. (Front/Rear)

I've tested myself and it just seems that the HARD setting on the stocker wheels+tires is a bit too much. The rears would break free on just about every spirited turn i made. It's great for drifting.

However, the Med/Hard setup seems to go exremely well with bigger wheels+tires. The reduction in the roll inside the cabin can definitely be felt as well.

ENJOY!
Still one of the best mods i've done to date, if not THE best.

Thanks for the feedback Meechin, I have wider wheels and tires and I put the setting on med/med. Its pretty easy to change the settings right? Just jack the car up..unscrew the bolts then adjust..

not sure what the torque specs are.

never heard of any issues with overtorquing tho.
Just don't shred the threads. Just enough to make sure it doesn't come loose.

Thanks for the feed back. I do have stock wheels, so I will go with the medium front and rear. Hotchkis has the torque spec's at 40 lbs. Thanks again.
