Setting sway bar stiffness

There are 3 holes on my Whiteline sway bar. try as I might, I can't seem to find any instructions for setting the rear sway bar at its stiffest

I've taken a pic of the rear left wheel and the sway bar and uploaded the pic here.

I'm told that the leftmost hole will give me the stiffest setting, and the rightmost one in the picture (furthest away from the bend of the sway bar) is the softest.

Can someone confirm if this (i.e. the hole nearest to the bend of the sway bar being the stiffest setting) is correct?

Yes, the stiffest setting will be closest to the bar.

cheers, guys. It's done, and is so predictable getting the rear end moving around. The car feels fun again.

gunzo, i've been trying to contact you about the map, definition file and whether you got the Evo X file I sent you. Any updates on getting the launch control working? I'm dropping the car off tomorrow to get the 3 clutch cables near the fuse box looked at, and if that works, I might have launch control working. I'm hoping you can get the anti-lag working on the map I sent you, so let me know how you're getting on with the map...
