Question Rear Sway Bar (Progress)

ok for our 2nd gen... this one is supposed to fit even though it says it's for a 3rd gen

my question is if anyone has this on and has messed with the two settings?...

There is stiffer and softer.

I don't want to feel every bump on my ass... so just wondering how much of a diff it could possibly make... I want less body lean on turns, so that's what I was going for...

I would hate to feel every bump on the road so hmmm... as of now I'm going to have him set it on the stiffer setting and just go with that.

I thought softer and stiff could only be a a shock/spring thing hmm?

I would go stiffer. I don't think it'll make a lot of difference when your just cruising when it comes to feeling the bumps in the road but it will handle better and have less body roll when railing corners.

I also checked the faq... hmm

I just wanna notice a difference and make smoother turns at a little higher speeds...

I'm not going to race, but I am considered an aggressive driver...

I also, wouldn't want to spend the money and place it on the softer setting and not notice a difference...

With how much thicker the bar is than stock, you should notice a big difference. This is one of the things on my list to get done.

Unless you are driving at constant race track-day speeds, meaning the tires protest, then that bad noise goes away in the turns as you go faster and a little bit of slide is normal, when you are focused on placing and setting the cars nose for turn in at exact points, and weight changes in cornering- apexing...all at max effort braking and turning effort, and back onto full throttle to the next turn....
soft will be fine to start with~
You dont put adjustable shocks at max firm to start either.
See what it does at soft/normal, and its a quick change to other setting

Just the increase in bar diameter/size- and poly bushing vs rubber, bar mettallurgy etc,
its going to stiffen the cornering up plenty for the normal human.
I have seen other ads for it where they talk about soft for streetable and stiff for actual race track type use- or hardcore mountain fun runs.
I run my Tein SS shocks softer in back, more for handling than comfort
