Hotchkis Sways with rear active steer
Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody on the forums has experience with the Hotchkis Sway settings on a '06 coupe with Rear Active Steer??? My sway bars just came in and I'm gonna be installing them later on after work. Now from what I have been researching the consensus for the street is to ride soft in front and medium in the rear. But then i remembered thats the setting for the coupes without RAS. So because my car is already designed to handle better with the turns, is there another better setting I could use when I install it. Granted I can always test it out until I find one that works best, but that be a lot of time to spend in one night lol. So im hoping some people here have some useful info for me? Please?

Yes!!!
Even with stock sport suspension sways compared to aftermarket sways on stiffest, less body roll = more control and feeling.
Well, I have aftermarket coil-overs too, which help as well.
[edit]...And running wider tires than the oem 19 Protenza's POS as well.

Think Hex doesn't have RAS. From what I remember, he purposely didn't get it b/c he knew his HKS exhaust wouldn't fit on his new G he was getting and now has.
Think I'll rescind my comment on everything set at stiffest on sways. With adjustable, it does give you the option of adjustably and what feels right in your set-up and what kind of performance you're seeking.
I personally like minimum body roll and the feeling of my G riding on rails through turns, but that's just me.
