Just put on some Hotchkis bars
Haven't had time to test it too much but so far so good! Easy install too.
I'm running the fronts=softest and rears=middle. Someone mentioned that's where they ended up. The Hotchkis site instructions said set both front/rear at their stiffest settings! Nuts?! I'm on a 100% stock non-sport suspension/wheels/tires.
What settings have you guys settled on?

Here's the Hotchkis stiffness settings:
Stiffness settings for the front/rear sways: Front - Rate Increase over stock +9%,+32%,+63%
Rear - Increase over stock +54%,+92%,+146%
So I'm at +9% and +92% front/rear. I really want to up the front to +32% but I'll wait

It's hard to compare the Stillen units though. The review in the suspension section just says frt/rear adj from 7% to 75% or something. What medium actually is on the frt or rear is a mystery.

Can you detail what settings you went though and the results? Thanks

We tried H/S but made things worse...Buick like...wallowed in corners. The M/M was the next though and I liked it,so I kept it. Nothing special about it...just what I feel makes driving better for my style.

Here is the pdf from the maker's site. Only thing I recommend is to ignore their intial setting recomendation.

But in reality, you don't need the instructions. It's pretty self evident when you get under the car.
