Opinions on Sway Bars

is the stillen a good option for occasional auto-x since it obviously is softer for better DD, but it has the stiffer rear setting also? if you watch the hotchkis vid comparing it to stock, you can see the turn-in goes south with the hotch.

Yeah, I'd say the Stillen would probably do well for auto-x. When I put the Hotchkis on I had horrible understeer at the auto-x event the following week, this is because of the super stiff front bar. I had to buy camber arms and set front camber to -2.5, it was around -0.8 stock.

I have the Stillen and they are great for the street. I have 15mm spacers on the rear only, which add a small amount of understeer. I set the Stillen rears up on the softest setting, which is still 37% stiffer than stock, while the front is 29% stiffer than stock. I feel like I dialed out some of the understeer, while retaining a good balance for daily driving.
