robispec sway setting question

dang, searched everywhere can't find the answer....

I'm installing the robispec 4 way adjustable rear sway bar on my stock suspension '11 evo x.

Which setting do I use? I'm going to install swift spec r springs, but other than that everything is factory. Daily driver.

My understanding is the hole furthest away from center is the most soft setting and the hole nearest the center of the bar is the most firm.

My plan was to set it at the second hole nearest the center. See my high quality install diagram below ......

FWIW, I got my suspension/sway bars done by Robi and he set the swaybar setting to hole #2. I believe hole #4 would be the stiffest, and hole #1 the softest.

Thank you !

That's what I went with. I was going to use 3, but if he started with 2 on yours I will start there as well. So, I assume he put springs on your car as well? Have you gone up/down one on your rear sway bar and noticed much of a difference? .......Thanks again for you help

Less understeer and better turn in:

Soft setting on front bar (or leave stock)
Moderate to stiff setting on rear bar

You can get too stiff especially with stock shocks, basically if bumps when the car is loaded in a turn cause bumps steer then you need to soften them up a bit.
