So I will be installing these tomorrow. I'm going to a friends shop, but the drive is quite far, so I really want to get these done and not have to adjust them for stiffness in a few weeks.

I am going to put the rear bar on the middle setting, but I'm not sure what to do with the front bar. Of course I like to drive my car hard, however I do have to drive quite a few work clients around in my vehicle as well. Is the stiffest setting in the front (with no other suspension mods) going to start jarring my passengers over every bump? Will the looser setting make a significant negative difference with turning and/or a significant positive difference ride comfort?

I'm still leaning towards the stiffest in the front, but want to hear your opinions.

stiffest in the front and middle in the back

eventually you will make your way to the stiffest setting for both front and rear.

really even with the lighter settings in the front you will be sacrificing ride comfort the bar is stiff and heavy so its gana be killin it on bumps either way

I went with stiffest in the front and middle in the back. These things are just rediculous. It really felt like driving a whole new car during the turns. Best $360 I've spent.

as far as design, bigger, beefier, adjustable.

as far as driving, the car feels solidified around turns. car handles much better with roll reduced drastically. the car just feels grounded now. oh, i am have the softest settings on both front and rear as well!!!

did your rwd sedan springs reduce the body roll less effective than these hotchkis sways?

i'm asking because i'm choosing between rwd sedan springs and hotchkis awd sways to reduce the body roll when turning on the bad road!

I use them with the stock suspension and they work wonderfully.
