you sure? that seems opposite, like the endlink would have to be "reaching" further?

Outer increases motion ratio on the bar. Think of it this way, which way moves the bar further in roll? Outer = stiffer on the arm, inner = stiffer on bar settings.

thanks, installed it with the left-right flip and put it on the second hole for now. no kidding about the clearance from the bolt head to the fsb bolt. the stock endlink sends strained to say the least and I'm finding it difficult to believe it'll make much difference but I'll find out this weekend

Had a hard time w/this Dallas. Seemed like the inboard setting would have been the higher rate, due to less of a moment arm on the bar (stiffer). Wasnt until I found their diagram that made me second guess this.

Thanks for your explanation

whew - they are fully installed, endlinks not strained, just looked that way as i had the steering wheel turned from side to side to also do the brake calipers at the same time. they are on solidly tight, but don't know about the torque specs. a little more complicated for me with the brake air guides, but they went on fine. i cranked them on as hard as i could with the tools i had, they were originally on pretty tight but they've also probably never been removed from the factory. with them on "reversed," the 3rd position away from the engine is roughly OEM, and i've put them on the second position inward. if I still feel like the car's too pushy I'll try the 1st position

Too long for what? Only thing I can think that has some obstruction is with the cusco bracket. You will have to do it in a certain order/way to be able to get the bracket bolts on and the nut for the endlink on. But is doable.
