Settings for adjustable sway bars???

[VWindahouse]

Hi guys, just wondering for those who have both front and rear adjustable sway bars installed what settings you have them on and the results you have found i.e. neutral through cornering, oversteer etc.

I am just about to have mine installed and was thinking of going with the soft setting for the front and medium for the rear for a neutral streetable combination, any thoughts?

atm mate im pretty sure both mine are on soft and still pretty damn good, so i would say start there then adjust

I currently have my rear swaybar set to hard and I hate it! The snap oversteer you get if you lift off mid corner is unnerving to say the least!

I intend to change it back to medium soon.

Installed the rear on Medium and haven't felt the need to change on or off the track.

Installed the rear on Medium and haven't felt the need to change on or off the track.

Have to agree with Floody....

Mine was installed on soft setting and the improvement is fantastic over stock. Next time I take it in for a service I'll get them to set to medium just for curiosity.

Just put a whiteline RSB on this weekend currently set to softest setting.

I have a new whiteline FSB as well but have yet to put it on. (My plan is to sort a few things all at once with the front suspension)

It is an interesting experience, very noticeable - definite improvement. The car does not get that hopeless understeer that it used to. I have to re evaluate my understanding on the car and how it handles - this will take some kilometers. (I figure with the stock FSB having the rear set to soft is the equivalent to medium)

My theory has been to go slow with the settings and adopt over time.

I'm wondering if installing a RSB will help with traction of the inside wheel when cornering under acceleration.

Since upgrading to the APR V2, with some other mods to help with traction (H&R springs, engine mounts) the inside wheel will loose traction pretty easily when accelerating during turn.

No doubt the Lower springs and mounts help, but as i had them all done at the same time, cant compare.

Next options is the front suspension bushes and RSB, but I'm not sure if the RSB will assist with the front end traction (hoping the front suspension mounts will assist with tramping as the engine mounts did).

I'm guessing the front brace and front sway bar would help, but i'm not interested in the install cost (wait for my budget to settle).

Any input from sway bar install'ees would be great.
