Default Oh, and H-sport steps in for h&r and steals the win!

nearly identical looking to the H&R, just "hotchkis" rolls off the tongue easier haha

"The hole at the bar's end is the softer while
the second hole from the end is the harder setting."


BTW DO NOT INSTALL THE SWAY BAR backwards (no joke, its easy to not pay attention to this) h-sport uses a sticker to help guide you which way is flipped upright, dunno how h&amp;r does it<ul><li><a href="http://www.hotchkis.net/installation_guides/22822.pdf">http://www.hotchkis.net/installation_guides/22822.pdf</a</li></ul>

The closer to the end of the bar, the softer the setting.

Default Ding! Def set it to stiffer...I did with my H-sports and it's great.

Coilover installs are fairly easy...just be sure to get and properly use a &lt;b&gt;quality&lt;/a&gt; spring compressor.

Hopefully I'll have time to install mine w/e after next...hopefully.
