What do you have your sway bars set on?

I think they are written in the instructions, but the holes closest to the ends are the soft setting, and the holes on the inside are the stiffer setting. I have both mine on the stiffest settings, which is great, but I think if you have the rears on the stiffest, and the front on the softer setting, it will reduce understeer better.

Yah I have just the TRD sway bar and it's great for probably 80% of people honestly. I like quicker turn in and less sway (I am used to driving a MR2) so the Hotchkis bars are on the 'soon' list rather then the 'later' list. =)

When I get mine I am going to test Hotchkis Front, TRD rear and see what it's like just for the heck of it. That will be TRD at the highest setting and the Hotchkis front at the lowest probably.

That will be a sweet test. Leave the front on soft, the TRD rear on Stiff, then switch it out with the Hotchkis rear and have them both on soft to see the difference. I think the Hotchkis front is about as stiff as teh TRD rear, so I bet it'll feel funny.

I am expecting it to have quicker turn in with a good shot of understeer, and I have a small hope that it will be completely neutral. We'll see. That probably won't happen for a bit unless I see a good deal on the bars.

68% and 338%,..

I love being agresive in corners
