Default TRD front sway bar setting

Installed my sway bars yesterday. The front bar is adjustable. On my 05 tC the rear was adjustable and I just set it to the stiffest setting to eliminate as much understeer as possible. Having the front adjustable is a little different. I currently put it in the center setting. Any input on people that have the sway bars. Does one setting drive better than the others?

Logically, it seems as though I should put the endlinks in the endmost hole to eliminate as much understeer as possible. Does anyone out there have any input?

The middle will reduce the under-steer a little and will match the reduced body roll to your new rear sway-bar. If you set to aft setting (the stiffest), you unperceivably reduce the body roll, but increase the under-steer. If you find that the car still under-steers, move it to the forward most point. You will not notice the increase in body roll, but the car should over-steer by then.

So it sounds like the middle setting should be the most neutral handling-wise. I don't want to plow through corners, but I also don't want the rear end coming around.
