Front Sway Bar Comparison for AutoX

Spearfish: But you're running both front AND rear sways, right? The difference here is that to stay in CS I can only run a front sway, so big Hotchkis up

Spearfish: But you're running both front AND rear sways, right? The difference here is that to stay in CS I can only run a front sway, so big Hotchkis up front combined with the OEM rear wont work out well. I need something up front that is big enough to help with body roll and help get the power down on corner exit, but not so big as to cause tons of understeer.

JB1: well... sortof. I listed the number of holes as the adjustability. You can stagger holes (how stillen comes up with 5-way) on any sway bar if you want, but that gets a little more complicated.

What really gets me is comparing the Stillen and the Eibach. The stillen is bigger but claims lower rigidity. I would like to get as much adjustment as possible but Stillen's numbers just don't make sense. Maybe someone from Stillen can chime in. If not, I'm going with Eibach.

Ah, get it, Eibach has 2 holes vs. Stillen 3.

Difference in rigidity between the two probably is due to a difference in wall thickness, but I'm guessing here.
