Soft or Hard Swaybar to match Bilstein PSS10
Currently running the PSS10's and was wonderding with a softer spring setup like the bilsteins do you go with a softer swaybar or a harder one.
For example I used to run Tein flex's and cusco sway's but found that it was just to stiff and would end up side ways every corner. I put back the oem sways and there was a noticeable positive improvement in handling with no other change.
I like my PSS10's for the street but find that there is some body roll that I want to get rid of.

the best bet is fitting a fully adjustable setup like Hotchkis, which will let you dial in the settings front and rear to suit your particular tastes, tires and driving style

When I installed my Pss9 setup to test it out before I had it revalved and resprung, I was perfectly happy with my sway's set to med/med. I have a front Hotchkis bar and a rear 350EVO bar. When I thought I'd try full stiff because I, like you was comming off a setup with stiffer springs, it was not a productive experience and I rather quickly went back to med/med. Of course that was my experience, doesn't mean you can't run full stiff. It might work for you and your setup. It sure didn't work for me.

When I had the teins and the cusco's trust me I was all over the place. I reckon everyone thought I was the drift king.
I will go with an adjustable set but my concern is that the softest setting in the rear may not be soft enough. If you look at the Cobb/hotchkis the minimum on the rear is ~85% stiffer than stock. If this is too stiff in the rear then I don't have any adjustment range.

I have a problem with most bar manufactuer percentage claims.

From your post on the other thread.
When you say hotckis should be "hole 4 full stiff +29%" then you mean hole 3 should be 18% softer? Otherwise hole 4 cannot be full stiff
Is my understanding correct?
Michael
Hotchkis 35mm hollow front bar hole 3 +82% hole 4 full stiff + 129%
Cobb 35mm hollow front bar hole 3 +85% hole 4 full stiff +135%
^IMO the Hotchkis and Cobb bar specs should read as follows
Hotchkis front bar hole 4 full stiff +29%
Cobb front bar hole 4 full stiff +35%
Cobb 35mm hollow front bar hole 3 +85% hole 4 full stiff +135%

Hotchkis front bar hole 4 full stiff +29%
Cobb front bar hole 4 full stiff +35%
