Default optimum sway bar settings

for everyone that has front and rear hotchkis sway bars, what setting do you have them on and what have you learned from different configurations, both bad and good. most people ive seen talk about this say to put both bars on the maximum setting, however after reading some other articles, it seems like the maximum settings on both bars might not be the best for accelerating out of a turn.

well through some research i found that for as front wheel drive car the best thing to do is set the back to very stiff and the front to the softest setting to creat more oversteer than understeer (understeer is wut FW drive cars tend to do)which is what i did... and it works like a dream... i actually "drifted" in the rain without pulling the e-brake (i know i technically didnt drift because its FW drive but thats why i put it in quotations)... its the ____ with those settings.... good luck...
