The hole nearest the end of the bar is softest.

Thanks Rich, so front soft and rear hard.

I believe thats the best. Too stiff on the front and you can end up with understeer, which you dont want.

The front wheels can skitter over mid-corner bumps, too, which you don't want when cornering! I had both bars and the front lower arms poly bushed at the same time which tightens up the steering nicely.

Bit of a noobish question, but you would you run these with stock suspension? Currently got H&R 20-25mm springs which im thinking of taking off and resorting to stock springs, as the tyres rub with any amount of hard corning
