hotchkis sway setting
Who runs these on the tightest settings? I have mine on the medium slot and there can be some boosted oversteer. How much more is there on the last setting? I am getting wider/more sticky rubber so I may be able to cheat with tighter sways.

I've played around with both settings for a while, and I've set mine back to the middle. The stiffest setting really helped out with the under-steer, but may have been too stiff with my camber settings, and I got a bit too much over-steer in very tight turns.
Its 20min to change it, definitely try it out.
I'm going to give it one more shot after adding some more negative camber to the rear.

I have mine on the middle setting. Haven't felt I needed more to get rid of any oversteer, because simply installing them into the middle serting actually got rid of everything I was feeling before. From what I HEAR, the stiffest setting is super stiff and I'm a little Leary about setting them to this for fear of my a$$ starting to slide out on cornering.

The stiffest setting on the rear Hotchkis bar will indeed induce the car more toward overall oversteer. It will make the back end very stiff. Use it at your own peril. It depends on your driving style and ability as to whether it's too much for you.
The stiffer you set the rear, the more any upset on one side will transmit to both wheels. Or if you hit a bump or dip that causes one side to lose grip the other side will lose grip proportionally as well the stiffer you set it. So if you hit a bump mid corner you are more likely to risk losing the rear with the bar set stiffer.

I was getting loose with bumpy turns, even on medium, the Konis tamed that.
No, I wont attempt to try with the stiffest!!
