Default Hotchkis sway bar owners

for all Hotchkis sway bar owners what settings do you recommend? I just ordered a set of Hotchkis sway bars. I don't plan to auto-x but I do drive it hard on twisty's. It handles good but has a little body roll. I just want it to be solid like a go-chart w/ the addition of the sway bars. Let me know whats a good setting for this type of driving.
thanks

I have eibachs and have them set medium rear and soft front (there are only 2 settings for front). I would go with medium front and rear; if you don't like it, just adjust it.

Same here.

WREN57, what do you mean there are only 2 adjustments on the front? I certainly have three settings on both Front and rear bars...

wren57 has Eibach sways and they only have 2 holes.
