settings for hotchkis sway bars

Hey guys I just got an awesome gift from my girlfriend. I got hotchkis sway bars and i was wondering what is a good setting to put them to cause i believe their are 3 settings for the rear. my car is a daily driver but at times i drive aggressive and go to canyon runs. I was wondering what settings you guys are putting your sway bars to just for a little advice. thanks

I set mine to the stiffest straight from the get go so I can't really comment on the other settings. But I would probably never change it. They are rock solid and the car has zero body roll now. The ride quality didn't really get affected either.

It depends on your preference and driving style. The stiffer the setting you choose, it will increase overseer (slightly) in relative proportion. It will also tend to increase ride harshness as any distrurbance to one rear wheel will be transferred more to both wheels as the stiffeness is increased.

Stiffest with stock springs.

Middle WITH Eibachs.

Stiffest with Eibachs will have major oversteer.
