Just put my Stillen sway bars on my whip, man what difference now. I did the med. setting in the front and the stiffer setting in the rear. I went with the stiffer setting in the rear cause my car is rear wheel drive and my Infiniti tech told my that was the best setting for my car. Just thought I give my 2 cents.

I complained about the rear axle tick and on a completely unrelated note the dealer noticed the upgraded sways and asked if I wanted to upgrade the endlinks (for free under warranty). Ummm, you can guess what I said.

I have mine set to med/med and it still has slight understeer but much more neutral; oversteer can be induced easily with throttle control.

You guys are certain that the hole closest to the bar is the stiffest setting, right? I was thinking of trying that in the rear.

I ran all summer with the rears at the stiffest setting. I found that traction in the rear was significantly compromised, especially when accelerating out of corners, or hard out of even gentle turns!

My second set of OEM end-links wore out, and I installed the new OEM end-links back at the 'mid' setting.

Though body sway is a little more, it's not significant. But the big change is in the handling. The rear seems less 'antsy', and has a more fluid feel and movement in turns. Traction is much better now.

At least for me, the medium setting on the Stillens works the best.

Hmmm, maybe leaving the rear at medium and moving the front to soft is a better thought...

If you want a bit less understeer, that would be the way to go. Remember, you can also experiment on intermediate settings with by using one hole at 'mid', and one at 'stiff' on the rear as well. Try the front at 'mid' and soft'. If you have time, just play around, experimenting on the settings.

would it eliminate understeer in the front if I put the sway bar at med in front and stiff at back. I like oversteer but not so much that i would oversteer out of every corner

can you notice a difference when you're switching lanes or aggressively switching lanes?
