I set the rear to the stiff setting (hole closest to bar) and the front to the middle setting (middle hole). Took it for a quick test drive and around my neighborhood and the car definitely feels a bit stiffer in cornering. The car doesn't roll as much as the stock bars. My car will never see a track so I may adjust the front to the stiff setting at some point...but I want to drive it more to decide before I get back under there. Also found that the under tray that's supposed to have 4 clips...mine didn't have them. I guess I need to call Nissan and see if they can give me some.

These sway bars, coupled with my 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers, makes this car handle like it should.
If I may ask? How do you feel the spacers are helping performance? I thought spacers were just cosmetic and actually widen the turning radius?

It does affect performance, the wider stance helps on better cornering as well as pritecting the bearings. Did you know that porsches race cars uses multi spacers?
