Default What setting on Sways?

I'm posting this question in this forum, to get the opinions and experience of those that autox. I'm installing some Hotchkis sways tomorrow, and would like to know what setting other people are using on a similar setup. Thanks!

I put Hotchkiss adj sways on my 03 auto sedan this summer and the installation instructions tell you to set the front to the hardest and the rear to the softest. With this setup I was experiencing a lot of push. Numerous people recommended softening the front bar and when I did the push mostly disappeared and I was able to oversteer on demand. Very happy with it set this way. Good luck. (Front bar now set to middle setting and reat to softest)

I slapped them on, along with some GT-Spec braces. Set the sways at medium/medium. It's what was suggested to me by some local Z guys, so I'll give it a shot...
