H&R ARBs Adjustable fitting?
Teutonic_Tamer:
You're all wrong. The bolt hole which is the FURTHEST away from the pivot is the 'stiffest' setting. Search for the Whiteline adjustable ARB pdfs . . . .

Think about the length of lever needed to undo f-ing tight wheel bolts. With a short 12" bar, you probably won't be able to undo them - but with a 30" breaker bar, they will be easy.
At the end of the day - they are ANTI-roll bars, and use a simple 'lever principle' to counteract differential torque (twisting force) along the length of the ARB. So the bolt hole closest to the centre-line of the ARB will be less able to cope with the torque than the bolt hole furthest away.
www.whiteline.com.au/vehicle_swaybars.php is a starter for 10.

that to me backs up what myself and everyone else have said by using the inner hole, you have less 'leverage' from the bolt to the centre line so it will roll less as its harder to bend.
If you use theouter hole the 'lever' is longer so it would 'bend so to speak' easier and thus roll more.
I stand to be corrected, no one is right all the time, but the above makes sense to me, eibach also confirmed it as have others. ill have a look through the PDF after i pick the wife up from work
