Stillen Sway bars - 305 rear tires - setup?

I'm assuming with the wider rear tires (265f/305r RE-11) that a few guys are running if you also have the Stillen sways are you setting the bar at it's stiffest

Default Stillen Sway bars - 305 rear tires - setup?

I'm assuming with the wider rear tires (265f/305r RE-11) that a few guys are running if you also have the Stillen sways are you setting the bar at it's stiffest setting? I'm assuming since the car would have so much more grip comparatively in the rear you would want the rear sways at the stiffest setting? I'm running mostly AutoX with the odd track day...

I have those tires with hotchkis bars....So far I haven't been able to properly test this setup, but it seems that it has remained fairly neutral-oversteer from what little I've been able to do on the street. I have the rear set in the middle. I'm just itching to get on the track though. Sorry can't be much help, but at least we're on a similar boat.

Do you have the original version with just two settings of adjustment in the rear? If so, I remember reading that someone with 255/305 tires had it at its stiffest setting in the rear and loved how neutral it was.
